Universities, Public Research, and Evolutionary Economic Geography
指出演化经济地理学忽视了大学对创新的贡献,从复杂性理论视角分析大学如何增强区域经济的适应能力,呼吁该领域更多关注这一框架。
Evolutionary Economic Geography (EEG) has, thus far, neglected the contribution of universities to innovation processes in its emerging theoretical explanations of territorial economic change. This article begins to address this conceptual gap by outlining a perspective on the ways in which universities, as organizations with institutional features and functions that are distinctive to those of firms, can enhance the adaptive capacity of national or regional economies. The argument developed is based on a complexity theory view of system self-transformation and supports greater attention to this framework in a pluralistic EEG.
