ABSTRACT

Although evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and global production network (GPN) and global value chain (GVC) research into regional industrial restructuring and development have developed in parallel and with little mutual engagement, they provide important complementary insights. This article concentrates on what the EEG approach can learn from the GVC/GPN approach by focusing on extra-regional linkages, institutional contexts and firm heterogeneity. Analysing the role of these factors not only overcomes some weaknesses of the EEG approach but also plays an especially important role in understanding regional industrial dynamics in developing and emerging economies and in the conduct of policy-relevant research.

摘要

尽管演化经济地理学 (EEG) 和全球生产网络 (GPN) 以及全球价值链 (GVC) 对区域产业结构调整和发展的研究是并行发展的，而且几乎没有相互参与，但它们提供了重要的补充见解。本文重点关注 EEG 方法可以从 GVC/GPN 方法中学到什么，重点关注区域外联系、制度背景和公司异质性。分析这些因素的作用不仅克服了 EEG 方法的一些弱点，而且在了解发展中和新兴经济体的区域产业动态以及进行政策相关研究方面发挥着特别重要的作用。
