“…While “stickiness” as an analytical tool has not been used in migration studies, this concept is used in economic geography (Markusen, 1996), management, business and organisational studies (Szulanski et al., 2016), planning and regional studies (Ray et al., 2020) and cultural studies (Badwan & Hall, 2020), to examine and understand attraction, keeping and retention. According to Markusen (1996), s tickiness is the ability of geographic clusters (Evren & Ökten, 2017), or geographic concentrations connected by “knowledge, skills, inputs, demands, and/or other linkages” (Delgado et al., 2016, p. 1) to attract and keep. The “stickiness” /“ slipperiness” dichotomy is employed in economic geography to understand the presence/absence of “agglomerative forces” (Evren & Ökten, 2017, p. 894).…”

Since 1996, migration‐related schemes have directed new immigrants, refugees and humanitarian entrants to regional Australia to mitigate the need for skills and declining population growth in these locations. However, a key concern of these schemes is the uncertainty of long‐term immigrant retention in regional locations beyond the stipulated visa category period. We draw on the metaphor of stickiness: the ability of geographic clusters to attract and retain to examine Australian regional settlement literature and identify factors and processes associated with immigrant settlement and retention. Through a systematic and rigorous review process, we identify seven interconnected factors and processes nestled amongst three core themes of sticky factors and processes that attract, enable and impede settlement and retention contributing to the growing knowledge regarding regional immigrant settlement and retention.

Towards a comprehensive agency-based resilience approach: myopia and hypermetropia in the Turkish wine industry

The Turkish wine industry presents an interesting case to explore firm behaviour, institutions and regional economic resilience. With political Islam gaining popularity over the past two decades, the local industry has faced many challenges at the policy level. These include an enormous tax burden, bans on alcohol advertising, promotion and sponsorship, and the prohibition on online sales of alcoholic products. Under these conditions, many producers do not have the necessary skills to manoeuvre institutional challenges therefore economic survival mainly depends on local agents’ own capabilities. Understanding the resilience of an industry as such calls for an institutionally nuanced and agent-centric micro-level focus. In this context, the paper seeks to establish a theoretical framework that facilitates an explanation of how agents’ inherent systematic anomalies, biases and spatio-temporal cognitive limitations restrict their resilience and the twin notions of myopia and hypermetropia serve as the basis for our argument. The producer firms of the Thrace wine-making cluster in the northwest corner of Türkiye constitute our empirical focus. Our findings illustrate that the impact of adverse sectoral policies on local firms are heterogeneous and that there exists at least three types of winemaking firms in Türkiye depending on their agendas and cognitive (dis)abilities.
