While organizational proximity influences the output of collaborations only indirectly, geographical and technological proximity do so directly. Geographical proximity is most significant in statistical terms and technological proximity has
the highest magnitude of effect. Consequently, the latter lends itself most for management and policy interventions, by providing information on technological specialization of potential partners.

This paper uses a case study on the evolution of the Rhine river delta to illustrate the coevolution of the environment, the technology used to exploit it, and the institutions governing it. Three strands are interwoven : (1) Achieving equilibrium
between collective and individual action that accompanies these changes, individuals beget institutions and institutions beget individuals; (3) New technologies are invented, helping overcome challenges posed by the natural environment. Their unexpected
consequences undermine the solutions found, leading to new technologies, etc. The ultimate cause is the interaction between human cognition and action.
