“…Second, we focus on a developing country in order to fill a gap that remains in this area, since the relatedness literature usually focuses on developed countries, mainly the United States (Boschma et al, 2015; Donoso & Martin, 2016) and the European Union (Balland et al, 2019; Cainelli et al, 2019). Whittle and Kogler (2020) have drawn attention to the lack of understanding of how relatedness affects developing countries.…”

We employ a detailed skill database from Brazil to investigate how skill relatedness influences structural change in a developing country. We find a positive relationship between the skill-relatedness density and the entry of skillrelated industries; a negative association with the exit of industries from regional economies; and a positive influence on employment growth. The relationship between skill relatedness and structural change varies across different regions. Entry is more likely in large regions, and depends less on relatedness in advanced and middle-income regions.Skill relatedness plays a role in preventing exit from small regions and enhancing employment growth in larger regions.

“…13 So far only a few contributions have analysed the pattern of trade diversification at the sub-national level which is likely to be the most significant since capabilities are lumpy across space and have a strong local dimension. Using US States data in the period 2002-2012, Donoso and Martin (2016) show that only the local capabilities have a role in the path-dependence process of industrial structure dynamics whereas the industrial structure at the national level has a negative effect on States' export diversification. The authors also find that the higher internal migration, firm cluster strength and R&D spending over GDP are, the stronger the effect of current structure on the probability of diversifying a State's production.…”

“…Using Chinese firm-level data,Poncet and Starosta de Waldemar (2013) show that 'domestic capabilities' matter not only for explaining what firms produce, but also for the growth enhancement effects of new products and new technologies.15 Previous studies (e.g Boschma et al, 2013;Boschma and Capone, 2016;Lo Turco and Maggioni, 2016;Donoso and Martin, 2016). have used measures of 'density' as a predictor of the entry of a given product that was not previously exported.…”

The set of available local 'capabilities' determines what an economy produces today (its static comparative advantage) and, at the same time, defines the trajectories that the process of structural change may take in the future. The Product Space (PS) framework developed in recent seminal works by economists and physicists suggests that path dependence characterizes the evolution of the production basket (Hausmann and Klinger, 2007; Hidalgo et al. 2007). These authors represent economies as sets of productive capabilities that can be combined in different ways to produce different products. Countries progressively change their production baskets and move towards goods that require capabilities that are already available; on the contrary radical structural change rarely happens. In this paper, we analyse the evolution over time of the production baskets in 107 Italian provinces (NUTS 3) and perform the first test on the PS hypothesis of path dependence. We investigate whether new products entering the provincial production baskets are non-randomly related to initial production baskets. We confirm the general tendency of path dependence, but highlight at the same time that a sizable share of 'new products' are an exception to this general pattern. These 'random entries' over the PS are particularly interesting for industrial policy since they represent radical deviations from the initial comparative advantage. In the final part of the paper, we investigate using parametric analysis the product and provincial characteristics that determine these deviations from the PS pattern.

“…Concerning urban industrial structure, Donoso et al analyzed the relationship between the industrial systems, investigated the process of new industries in America from 2002 to 2012 using the proximity index, and analyzed the correlation between the industrial structure and export products of each state [43]. From social network analysis, Li et al presented an evaluation model to analyze the evolution process of industrial structure, analyzed the inherent correlation among various sectors of the industrial system, and studied the carbon emission generated from industries [44].…”

Urban function renewal is essential for modern megacities’ urban planning and economic developments. This paper investigates the urban function renewal in Shenzhen, China based on a complex network method. According to the points of interest and the location quotient, the dominant urban functions in each district are discussed. After computing conditional probability, the interdependence of urban functions is analyzed. The complex networks of the functions and the corresponding clusters are presented to examine the relationship and the overall features of the functions, and the features of the function clusters, respectively. The average degree and average weighted degree of the main function categories of the functions are computed to explore the features of the function classification. The urban functions’ renewal potential index is calculated to show the potential of the non-dominant functions renewing to the dominant ones in the coming years. The difficulty index of the urban function renewal in each district is presented, and the difficulty degree of the original d-ominant function group renewing to a new one is obtained. The results show that more dominant urban functions have a significant probability of being dominant ones in a district; the functions of hotels and life services are essential in the planning and development in Shenzhen; and the districts with better economic levels have greater values of the difficulty of the urban function renewal. Then, the function renewal direction in Shenzhen is analyzed, and some policy implications are given.
