The @sprint_rsa workshop was a blast - busy, inspiring and full of great talks! Very proud of our team @MartinaPardy @bcornejoco @eduherro and the growth of this network 👏🏼 Loved meeting new faces and catching up with old ones. ⤵️
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting our workshop in Vienna in collaboration with @WIFOat. A big thanks to all the presenters for sharing their inspiring work, and special thanks to our keynote speakers @crescenzi_r and @LjubicaNed for their outstanding presentations!

Next week I'll join the @HarvardGrwthLab seminar to speak about global value chains, economic complexity, local and complementary capabilities, and much more! See more info below 👇🏻 growthlab.hks.harvard.edu/ev…

Why do some regions climb the global value chain while others stumble? It’s less what you have, more who you link with, say @eduherro & co-authors in I&I. Complementarity—not proximity—is the magic dust. Knowing who may count more than knowing what. doi.org/10.1080/13662716.202…

In this recent work with @eduherro and Boschma we find new ways to measure upgrading in #GVC using complexity measures . This brings interesting insights into the emerging literature of #geography of #functions @RobertaRab @crescenzi_r @IammarinoSimona
🚨 New year, new paper! What a great way to start this new year having our paper with Ron Boschma, @morrisonXandrea and @xye_nl published at Papers in Regional Science! Find below the main findings and access to the full paper in this link 👇🏻 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrac…

Regions prosper in #GVCs not by chance, but by building on what they do well, say @eduherro & co in PiRS. Functional specialisation, rooted in related capabilities, determines whether they climb to high value roles or languish in low-complexity traps. doi.org/10.1016/j.pirs.2024.…

We show how economic complexity metrics can be used to measure both functional upgrading and downgrading in global value chains. This allows to explore the complexity of regions depending on the kind of functions they develop across GVCs.

Regions tend to functionally upgrade their GVCs towards more complex functions that are related to functions in which they are specialised. And regions are more likely to functionally exit and downgrade in global value chains when they are not specialised in related functions.
