Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Social science
  • Capitalism
  • Management

His scientific interests lie mostly in Economic geography, Evolutionary economics, Economy, Regional studies and Variety. The concepts of his Economic geography study are interwoven with issues in Technological change and Externality. His studies deal with areas such as Labor mobility, Knowledge transfer and Stylized fact as well as Externality.

His Evolutionary economics research includes elements of Benchmarking, Positive economics and Process. As part of one scientific family, Ron Boschma deals mainly with the area of Economy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Manufacturing, and often Path creation, Competition, Industry life cycle and Economies of agglomeration. His Variety research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Shift-share analysis, Range and Disease cluster.

His most cited work include:

  • Proximity and Innovation: A Critical Assessment (3430 citations)
  • Why is economic geography not an evolutionary science? Towards an evolutionary economic geography (714 citations)
  • Constructing Regional advantage: Platform Policies Based on Related Variety and Differentiated Knowledge Bases (633 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Social science
  • Capitalism
  • Management

Ron Boschma mainly investigates Economic geography, Diversification, Social capital, Survey data collection and Variety. His Economic geography study combines topics in areas such as Empirical evidence, Function and Diversity. Ron Boschma interconnects Economic system, International trade, Industrial organization and Human capital in the investigation of issues within Diversification.

His work on Comparative advantage as part of his general International trade study is frequently connected to Critical assessment, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
