Contrary to expectations, no evidence has been found in the literature on the supposed positive regional innovation impact of FP participation. We assume in this article that the overall missing impact of EU FP participation on regional patenting masks an important spatial regime effect. Our results are supportive of this assumption. While FP research subsidies act as a substitute for funding from other sources in regions of old EU member states, innovation in lagging regions in Central and Eastern Europe tends to rely more on the external knowledge transferred via FP-funded research networks to compensate for their less developed local knowledge infrastructures. Our findings are important, as they suggest that, in combination with other policies, strengthening research excellence and international scientific networking in relatively lagging regions could be a viable option to increase regional innovativeness.}, keywords = {SPATIAL STRUCTURE; Methods; network analysis; spatial analysis; urban and regional economic development; economic growth and development; policy and applications; agglomeration and externalities; urban and regional spatial structure; spatial diffusion and innovation; other spatial structure; spatial statistics and spatial econometrics}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1552-6925}, pages = {405-439}, orcid-numbers = {Varga, Attila/0000-0001-7252-5648; Sebestyén, Tamás/0000-0002-5596-0151} } @article{MTMT:3148717, title = {International collaboration and spatial dynamics of US patenting in Central and Eastern Europe 1981-2010}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3148717}, author = {Lengyel, Balázs and Leskó, M}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0166034}, journal-iso = {PLOS ONE}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {3148717}, issn = {1932-6203}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1932-6203} } @article{MTMT:2757835, title = {Regional Economic Growth in Hungary 1998-2005: What Does Really Matter in Clusters?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2757835}, author = {Lengyel, Balázs and Szakálné Kanó, Izabella}, doi = {10.1556/AOecon.64.2014.3.1}, journal-iso = {ACTA OECON}, journal = {ACTA OECONOMICA}, volume = {64}, unique-id = {2757835}, issn = {0001-6373}, abstract = {Although industry clusters are major targets of regional economic development in less developed regions as well, we still need a deeper understanding of how the spatial clustering of firms generates dynamics in lagging regions. These latter environments may differ from the typical cluster policy examples that are usually specialised global centres of dynamically growing industries. Using census-type data of Hungarian firms, we test the effect of major cluster indicators - regional specialisation and spatial concentration of industries - and the impact of FDI on regional productivity and employment growth in Hungary. Our results suggest that regional specialisation does not affect regional growth, while the spatial concentration of industries is found to influence productivity and employment growth with an overwhelmingly negative effect. Furthermore, regional employment growth is associated negatively with the initial level of regional specialisation. Results suggest that Hungary has evolved into a dual economy in which previously specialised regions and geographically concentrated industries have lost their pace, while the main factor that favoured regional economic growth was the presence of large foreign companies. Therefore, economic policies fostering regional specialisation and the spatial concentration of industries - such as cluster policy - may have minor effects unless the interaction of foreign-owned and domestic companies is encouraged.}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1588-2659}, pages = {257-285}, orcid-numbers = {Szakálné Kanó, Izabella/0000-0002-4149-1243} } @article{MTMT:2706869, title = {Leading Sectors and Leading Regions: Economic Restructuring and Regional Inequality in Hungary Since 1990}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2706869}, author = {Brown, David L and Greskovits, Béla and Kulcsár, László}, doi = {10.1111/j.1468-2427.2007.00738.x}, journal-iso = {INT J URBAN REG RES}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF URBAN AND REGIONAL RESEARCH}, volume = {31}, unique-id = {2706869}, issn = {0309-1317}, year = {2007}, eissn = {1468-2427}, pages = {522-542}, orcid-numbers = {Kulcsár, László/0000-0002-5684-382X} } @article{MTMT:1363708, title = {The Innovation Activity in a Stagnating County of Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1363708}, author = {Inzelt, Annamária and Szerb, László}, doi = {10.1556/AOecon.56.2006.3.2}, journal-iso = {ACTA OECON}, journal = {ACTA OECONOMICA}, volume = {56}, unique-id = {1363708}, issn = {0001-6373}, year = {2006}, eissn = {1588-2659}, pages = {279-299}, orcid-numbers = {Szerb, László/0000-0002-6964-7422} }
