Advancements in Natural Language Processing offer new methods to analyze textual artifacts, providing empirical insights into previously hard-to-measure aspects of innovation. www.nber.org/papers/w33821

In this new paper, we examine how regions transform their economic structures over time by analyzing complexity and relatedness metrics. We investigate these changes using sequence analysis techniques. @seqanalysisassn.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s001...

Together with Lennart Fischer, I have published a new paper on the socio-technical visions of a (future) bio-based construction sector. We examine these visions, focusing on how they are legitimized in Germany, Italy, India and China. doi.org/10.1016/j.ei...

ERSA REGION has pioneered the publication of computational notebooks as a way to reproducible & portable research that can be reuse for research & teaching. In association with @rgsibg.bsky.social @rgsibg.bsky.social, we have revived & published the first digital version of CATMOG. What is CATMOG?👇

@unihannover.bsky.social ist hier! Dann kann ich mal zeigen, welche (ehem.) Wissenschaftler:innen dieser Institution im Podcast schon allerlei Schlaues gesagt haben (1/3, blättern lohnt 😉) 🎙️ @slosacker.bsky.social, inzw. @jlugiessen.bsky.social zu Survival-Analyse: open.spotify.com/episode/5nq6...

Das BMBF-geförderte Projekt TRABBI erstellte mithilfe KI eine globale Übersicht von 5,6 Millionen Bioökonomie-Patenten. Forschende der Universität Gießen @jlugiessen.bsky.social entwickelten dafür ein Sprachmodell zur präzisen Identifikation biobasierter Technologien. ℹ️ shorturl.at/xXPbw

Check out this great tool created by @lkriesch.bsky.social to explore technological inventions related to the #bioeconomy 🌳

Ich muss ja mal anfangen, hier zu schreiben, um meine Follower:innen von X hier wiederzufinden nach'm #eXit. Lohnt sich für euch, hier gibt's kostenlose, unabh. Bildung zu sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsmethoden im nicen Podcast-Format 👉 methodenkoffer.info. Danke für's Teilen!

Pre-announcement of up to 4 postdocs on agrifood and land use transitions. We will soon open for postdoc applications at UCPH for an upcoming project. Keywords: policies, technologies, scenarios for European agrifood and land use transitions. Short deadline, so feel free to reach out already now.

To all #PhD students and early career researchers working on topics related to economic geography: Please take a look at our call and apply now for the next #YEGN Workshop on #agency and regional #transformation in Greifswald (Germany), 25-28 August 2025. 👇 yegn.wordpress.com/yegn-worksho...

The construction sector is at a crossroads, searching for pathways to smarter material use — whether bricks, steel, concrete, or wood. While technical solutions and innovative concepts exist, their widespread adoption lags. Actors, institutions, and collective perceptions of crisis matter.

Led by Lennart Fischer, we published results from our research on socio-technical imaginaries of a bio-based construction sector. We provide some insights into how these imaginaries/visions differ within and between different geographical contexts. www.tatup.de/index.php/ta...

Spinning Stories: Wind Turbines & Narratives in Germany Our new study dives into the interplay between #wind #turbines and #narratives in #Germany. Using #news data, we study how wind turbines are reflected in #local #narrative #landscapes (new concept!!!!). doi.org/10.1016/j.te...

Read our new paper, led by @lkriesch.bsky.social, (and check the dataset!) on bioeconomy-related patents published with @natureportfolio.bsky.social. We hope that the data will be useful for fellow researchers to better understand the knowledge base of the #bioeconomy 🌳

Paper: An urban ‘age of timber’? Tensions and contradictions in the low-carbon imaginary of the bioeconomic city doi.org/10.1177/2514...

Happy to share this new paper about the global innovation system of the biobased construction sector, published in Progess in Economic Geography 🏡 doi.org/10.1016/j.pe...

Tim Becker und ich haben ein neues Paper zur räumlichen Dimension des EU-Emissionshandels im #Standort publiziert. 📗 Das #EUETS funktioniert über einen Cap-and-Trade-Mechanismus und ist der Grundpfeiler der europäischen Klimapolitik. (1/5)

I am very happy to see this out after a somewhat lengthy process. And look, it is open access as well! Please find below the link to our publication on "Competing terms for complementary concepts? Acceptance and legitimacy" in the journal for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews.

1/ 📚 Our new WP, "The Long-term Evolution of Technological Complexity and Its Relationship with Economic Growth," offers a deep dive into the interplay between technological #complexity and economic growth in the #US over 170 years. econ.geo.uu.nl/peeg/peeg242...

Thrilled to announce our latest publication with the lovely title "Bioeconomy firms and where to find them", led by Lukas Kriesch. We reveal for the first time the relative importance of the #bioeconomy in different regions, using data from over 600k company websites. doi.org/10.18335/reg...

Working paper alert: Jannika Mattes and I explore the dynamics of regional energy transitions through a concept of Regional Transition Fields. We assert that dynamics of adaptation and delimitation in three institutional dimensions shape regional transition processes. geist-wp.com/regional-tra...

Happy to share this new paper on sequence methods in Economic Geography🧬 We explain how to use sequence analysis and we ponder on empirical applications for research in EG. We also provide a R script and manual for a simple use case in the online appendix doi.org/10.1016/j.pe...

Glad to see this paper w/ @hendrikhansmeier.bsky.social published! 📗 We study to what extent regions engage in eco-innovation activities, how these activities change over time and to what extent similar or unique regional eco-innovation trajectories (co)evolve www.tandfonline.com/eprint/CKZ59...

With @teis.bsky.social and Daniel Schiller, we have a CfP for a SI on "Exploring the Geography of Innovation and Sustainability Transitions in the Bioeconomy" in Progress in Economic Geography. Please contact us if interested 🌳 Deadline: March 31st 2024 www.sciencedirect.com/journal/prog...

Lennart Fischer brings along insights from the TRABBI project led by S. Losacker. Regime actors are mainly influencing imaginaries of sustainable construction. For niche vs regime imaginaries of sustainable construction different modes of innovation are relevant.
