#Entrepreneurship flourishes not in chaos, but in places where the rules are clear and agencies predictable.
Han Wang & I find in our new @cjres.bsky.social article that better #business environments seed #innovation.
Good #institutions are the best industrial policy.

#Europe’s problem isn’t a lack of genius, but a failure to use it. A continent can’t compete when half its regions are treading water.
#Europe’s future lies in mobilising all its latent talent, not just focusing on the prosperous few.

#Green transitions are billed as fair and forward-looking.
But as @suyashjolly.bsky.social, Asheim, @maximilianbenner.bsky.social, @giuseppecalignano.bsky.social, Eadson, Gong & @trondnilsen1976.bsky.social warn, #transitions stripped of justice breed resistance, not renewal.

Very good point !
If the Nobel Committee truly intended to recognize the formalization of Schumpeter’s concept of creative destruction, they might at least have included Sidney Winter, with Dick Nelson (sadly) no longer among us.

Euroscepticism sells freedom & prosperity but delivers stagnation.
My new working paper with Dijkstra & Dorati shows that #EU regions courting #Euroscepticism suffer lower #growth and weaker #productivity & #job creation.

Competitiveness thrives on cohesion, not concentration.
My brand new article in @regionalstudies.bsky.social makes the case for unlocking #Europe’s full potential, wherever it can be found, as #cohesion is the foundation of #competitivenes, not its antithesis.

#Cohesion policy is #Europe’s glue, binding regions and citizens to an idea. To fold it into national plans is less reform than nationalisation in disguise. It is like pouring solvent on fragile trust

Honoured to receive the Sir Peter Hall Award from the RSA (@regstud.bsky.social). To be named alongside scholars who have shaped my field is humbling. More lasting still are the life-long friendships and debates that make research a community, not a solitude.

I will do my best to continue to strengthen EIST, in collaboration with the brilliant colleagues on the editorial board. EIST is first of all a central part of the infrastructure of the sustainability transitions research community.

Europe’s #green & #digital ambitions map unequally across the continent, shaped less by policy than by inherited economic and institutional strengths.

What is the point of the tenure system and permanent academic positions if universities do not adhere to them? In the future, many academics may not commit to working at one university.

The places deemed ‘left behind’ are neither uniform nor easily defined. Behind the easy narratives of #rural decay & #urban success lies a subtler, more fractured reality. Martínez de Vega, Díaz-Dapena & Vinuela lay it bare in Regional Science Policy and Practice: doi.org/10.1016/j.rs...

What an honor to be listed among the top 100 Economic Geographers by #reprec in terms of an aggregate of citations and publication metrics. While the list should not be over-interpreted (lots of missing persons), it is nevertheless something I will celebrate. ideas.repec.org/top/top.geo.... 💡
