Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract The conventional explanation of the geographic concentration of economic activities attributes the persistence of industry clusters to the local agglomeration externalities within each cluster. By overemphasizing local agglomeration externalities, the existing literature essentially treats clusters as separate and isolated entities and thus risks overlooking competitive and collaborative dynamics across clusters. We argue that the spatial distribution of an industry matters as well because regional competitiveness is affected not only by its local agglomeration externalities but also by the agglomeration externalities in nearby clusters. Furthermore, to complement previous agglomeration research, which tends to take a static view, the impact of spatial distribution on regional competitiveness is examined across two stages of the industry life cycle. The findings from a longitudinal study of Canada's telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry reveal that being close to strong agglomeration externalities in other places increases a place's ability to create more new ventures when an industry grows but decreases a place's ability to sustain existing firms and its ability to create more new ventures when an industry shakes out.
