ABSTRACT

While considerable attention has been paid towards how some long-lasting extra-regional linkages such as foreign direct investments facilitate interregional knowledge transfer, less is known about the role of temporary extra-regional linkages formulated via trade fairs. This paper seeks to fill this gap by focusing on the China Import and Export Fair and examining the relationship between temporary extra-regional linkages forged by trade fairs and regional export dynamics. In doing so, we also speak with the literature on ‘temporary clusters’. Our second contribution is to differentiate export market and product diversification, and to show distinct effects of temporary extra-regional linkages on those two.
