Ron Boschma, Rune Dahl Fitjar, Elisa Giuliani and Simona Iammarino have published their article Unseen costs: the inequities of the geography of innovation in Regional Studies.
Abstract:
Notwithstanding the wide consensus around the undeniable positive effects of innovation, there is increasing awareness that innovations may also have their dark sides. These dark sides of innovations have received little attention in regional studies. This editorial to a special issue on The Dark Side of Innovation and its Geography argues there are clear geographical footprints to this, which are related to both the inputs and the outcomes of innovation processes. In particular, we discuss how innovation activities have geographically uneven outcomes, driving spatial inequality, and how they require material inputs located in certain places, meaning that their costs are also unevenly distributed across space.
