In my old office, someone who had sat there before, had printed a paper with that heading, "Causation or correlation"? and hanged it on the wall. Little did I know, that this phrase would haunt me couple years later like that pumpkin from Shit academics say's meme from last Halloween.
Well, today I found out that I could not say that e-capital creates economic development from the results of my analyses. Opposite, from my results, can be concluded that e-capital clusters in more developed regions. It makes sense now. Luckily, this is only minor revision at this point. Last review round forced us to re-write the whole paper. After all, I am thankful to the referees, who have put so much effort reviewing our text. Comments have made our text so much better. Now I am going to be much more comfortable defending my thesis one day, a day so much closer again. :)

Below is the permanent link to recently published article in Cities journal. It is also the first article of my PhD thesis. Three more to go, I guess. Well, it's a start :) The picture above is from the construction phase of 18 store twin towers in Jätkäsaari, Helsinki, opened now as Clarion Hotel. Every tenth of the new high rises in Finland is built in Jätkäsaari district, an inner city extension of Helsinki. It has an enormous innovative potential, according to our study below:
