Research
interests
My longest theoretical interest (since my PhD) has been
the application
of evolutionary theories to study the spatial distribution of economic
and
innovation activities. In particular I have initially focused on the
role
played by innovation systems in cluster dynamics. I have empirically
validated
these theories using both qualitative and quantitative methods in a
variety of
institutional, sectoral and geographical contexts in both developed and
developing economies. Over the last five years I have shifted my interest to a
related topic, the
role of science in development, in particular focusing on the formation
of international
scientific collaboration and university-industry linkages. The main
output of
these research activities is a recently published book entitled
“Innovation and
Technological Catch-up, the Changing Geography of Wine Production”,
which I
co-edited with Elisa Giuliani and Roberta Rabellotti. Meanwhile I have enhanced my knowledge in network
theories and
methodologies,
which I have applied in a number of published articles. VIDI Grant I have been recently awarded a five year VIDI grant by NWO (pdf), please find below a short description of the project. Title: Industrial clusters facing economic globalisation Globalisation challenges the competitive position of industrial clusters around the world. Some clusters will survive while others fade away. This research project aims to discover which factors affect the birth, growth and survival of clusters and how they change over time. |
