#Europe’s periphery won’t catch up by trading mostly with close neighbours. In International Economics, Tidu, Apuzzo, and Usai note that the regions escaping the #productivity doldrums are those with the confidence to compete well beyond the #EU’s edges. doi.org/10.1016/j.in...

Innovation is less a choice between state dirigisme and market whim than a governance feat governance. As Parrilli & Lu show in their new paper, #China’s #innovation depends on a national centre to set the vision and regional systems to perform discovery.

EU funds can build a hospital. They can’t guarantee it works well. #Institutions matter but their quality across the EU is highly uneven.
Can Karahasan in @spatialeconomic.bsky.social finds institutional convergence, yet Italy is a reminder that improvement is not automatic. doi.org/10.1080/1742...

The dynamism of the #megacity rarely trickles down & the fixation on size has fuelled a #geography of #discontent.
As I write in @spatialeconomic.bsky.social, real prosperity requires better #institutions & development ecosystems, not just stacking capital in the #metropolis.

#Devolution is often sold as a bespoke suit for local needs. In #NorthernIreland, however, it proved a hair shirt of provincial hubris. Birnie & @grahambrownlow.bsky.social's new PMM paper on the RHI scandal shows the costs of refusing to copy a the working #British model. doi.org/10.1080/0954...

#Innovation doesn’t just thrive in #urban centres. It also emerges on the margins. In Industrial & Corporate Change, @glueckler.bsky.social & @yaneck.bsky.social show how "institutional slack" and distance from the core create pockets where controversial #ideas can take root.

Controversial innovation and spatial pockets of peripheral opportunity
Abstract. Innovation is often paradoxical: it is both demanded and resisted. This article theorizes the process of controversial innovation (CI) as coevolv

Promoting #megacities has become an economic bet.
As I argue in my new @spatialeconomic.bsky.social paper, the promised spillovers of wealth often stop at the #city limits, leaving a fractured map and a slow-burn political #backlash, which is the price of #urban obsession. doi.org/10.1080/1742...

#EU #cohesion funds assume regional inequality is a passing rash: apply money, await recovery.
Petrakos, Alexiou & Sotiriou show in Growth and Change that #discontent isn’t a symptom of stagnation but a cause.
Hence, ignoring regions in a #DevelopmentTrap weakens the EU.

#Europe’s #green #transition is less a rising tide and more a series of localised shocks. As Costantini, Paglialunga & Zanoni show, a "just" transition remains a geographic lottery. Prosperity depends on industrial DNA and the luck of the map. doi.org/10.1016/j.ei...

The digital divide is an institutional design, not a technical glitch. @dbreznitz.bsky.social, Jane Gingrich & Amos Zehavi argue in Industrial and Corporate Change that #innovation-driven equity lies in the dull detail of #governance, not in the novelty of the tool.
