TAILIEUCHUNG - Related Variety, Unrelated Variety and Regional Functions: A spatial panel approach

Most tourism and business recruitment activities fall into the Quality, Connected Places component of a regional strategy. Finally, leadership programs, annual meetings, and citizen forums represent the core elements of Civic Collaboration. Development professionals can use the same framework to map their existing strategy. To what extent is the region’s strategy balanced across the different dimensions? To what extent does the region have a clear set of shared outcomes within each category of investment? This framework provides a regional leadership team with a base map on which to plot strategy. In this way, the framework can help clarify development initiatives. | Papers in Evolutionary Economic Geography Related Variety Unrelated Variety and Regional Functions A spatial panel approach Matthias Brachert Alexander Kubis Mirko Titze Utrecht University ÌlròSP Urban Regional research centre Utrecht http econ. . nl peeg Related Variety Unrelated Variety and Regional Functions A spatial panel approach by Matthias Brachert IWH Alexander Kubis IAB Mirko Titze IWH This version January 2013 Abstract The paper presents estimates for the impact of related variety unrelated variety and the functions a region performs in the production process on regional employment growth in Germany. We argue that regions benefit from the existence of related activities that facilitate economic development. Thereby the sole reliance of the related and unrelated variety concept on standard industrial classifications SIC remains debatable. We offer estimations for establishing that conceptual progress can be made when the focus of analysis goes beyond solely considering industries. We develop an industry-function based approach of related and unrelated variety and test our hypothesis by the help of spatial panel approach. Our findings suggest that related variety as same as unrelated variety facilitate regional employment growth in Germany. However the drivers behind these effects do differ. While the positive effect of related variety is driven by high degrees of relatedness in the regional R D and White-Collar -functions the effects of unrelated variety are spurred by Blue Collar -functions in this period.
