Abstract. Smart specialization strategies depend on understanding how economic specialization patterns diffuse across neighbouring localities. This paper proposes a Markov chain based approach for modelling the proximity contagion of smart specialization, where the state of each locality at a given moment depends probabilistically on the state of its geographic and economic neighbours. The model is calibrated on regional statistical data and provides a quantitative tool for analysing how localities transition between specialization profiles. The resulting insights can support policy-makers and regional development agencies in designing more effective, place-based specialization strategies.
