The role of initial and gradual trust in growing and unlocking regional industrial specialisations
本文区分了初始信任与渐进信任，探讨它们如何正面或负面地影响区域发展动态，为理解信任在区域产业专业化中的作用提供新视角。
Regional development is a dynamic process where relatively stable periods are interrupted by phases of more rapid transformation and disruption. Such dynamics are heavily influenced by the scope and nature of knowledge networks. Trust is a key mechanism influencing the mobilisation of networks for learning and innovation and thereby an important factor for understanding regional development. This paper sets out to unpack the role of initial and gradual trust in regional development by advancing a differentiated view that sheds light on why, when, and how trust affects regional development dynamics in a positive or negative way. Avenues for future research are identified.
