Innovation and Regional Absorptive Capacity: the Labour Market Dimension
This paper tests how the labour market characteristics of European regions shape regional absorptive capacity (RACAP), and regions’ ability to assimilate knowledge from public and externally-conducted R&D.

The attendant prescription is to invest more in R&D to derive greater benefit from the R&D of others (spillovers). Empirical tests of R&D productivity typically find absorptive capacity (R&D*rival R&D) to be significant. This result poses a puzzle however: What can a firm conducting 50% of industry R&...
