Collaboration networks as carriers of knowledge spillovers: Evidence from EU27 regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The geography of innovation traditionally concentrates on localised knowledge spillovers, yet neglects collaboration networks as a means to access knowledge outside the region. Using publication and patent data for 1316 regions in the EU27 plus Norway and Switzerland, we find that both localised knowledge spillovers and the knowledge spillovers stemming from collaboration affect the innovative performance of regions. The results provide support for EU policies aimed at creating European collaboration networks.

Foreign Knowledge Spillovers and Total Factor Productivity Growth: Evidence from Four ASEAN Countries
This study examines the dynamic relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and total factor productivity having controlled for other channels of external openness: exports and imports in four ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. We employ the panel data analysis PDA (fixed effect and dynamic panel models) as well as the panel cointegration and Granger causali...
متن کاملSpatial Spillover Effect of Public Infrastructure in Different GDP Sector Compositions: Spatial Panel Evidence in Eu-28 Regions
Spillovers have attracted wide attention in the areas of research in economics during the past decades. The reason for the interest in the topic lies in their important role in endogenous growth theory and the explanation of productivity growth. This paper investigates the spatial spillover of different types of public infrastructure on economic growth across EU-28 NUTS-II regions during 1995-2...
متن کاملA dynamic model of oligopoly with R&D externalities along networks. Part II
In Bischi and Lamantia [4] a two-stage oligopoly game has been proposed to describe networks of firms that invest in costreducing R&D activity with the possibility of sharing R&D results with partner firms as well as gaining knowledge for free through spillovers, and an adaptive dynamic mechanism is proposed to describe how firms repeatedly update their R&D efforts over time. In that paper exis...
متن کاملWhich Peers Matter ? the Relative Impacts of Collaborators , Colleagues , and Competitors
Many economists believe knowledge production generates positive spillovers among knowledge producers. The available evidence, however, is mixed. We argue that spillovers can exist along three dimensions: idea, geographic, and collaboration space. To isolate the key channel through which knowledge spills over, we use a unique data set to examine the impact of a large post-1992 exodus of Soviet m...
