Geographic and Sectoral Characteristics of Academic Knowledge Externalities
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper implements a novel approach to formalizing spatial externalities by employing spatial econometric methods that combine spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity in the form of spatial regimes. The results confirm earlier findings that academic externalities are not uniform across sectors but also indicate important differences across sectors in terms of agglomeration effects.

Specialisation, Diversity and Geographical Diffusion of Knowledge
The paper seeks to develop our understanding of the somewhat diffuse nature of technological externalities in technological space by associating a geographical dimension with the sectoral dimension. Using panel data this paper estimates a knowledge production function that allows for spillovers inside the same industry and outside, and for local as well as global geographical spillovers. This a...
متن کاملTeam-Based Integrated Knowledge Translation for Enhancing Quality of Life in Long-term Care Settings: A Multi-method, Multi-sectoral Research Design
Multi-sectoral, interdisciplinary health research is increasingly recognizing integrated knowledge translation (iKT) as essential. It is characterized by diverse research partnerships, and iterative knowledge engagement, translation processes and democratized knowledge production. This paper reviews the methodological complexity and decision-making of a large iKT projec...
متن کاملIndustrialization and environmental externalities in a Solow-type model
In this paper we examine the role played by environmental externalities in shaping the dynamics of an economy with two sectors (a farming sector and an industrial one), free inter-sectoral labor mobility and heterogeneous agents (workers/farmers and industrial entrepreneurs). We find that, in the presence of the environmental pressure of the economic activity of the industrial sector, the stabi...
متن کاملNeighbourhood Measures: Quantifying the Effects of Neighbourhood Externalities*
In recent years, analyses of neighbourhood externalities have grown with the perceived importance of their influence upon outcomes. Despite this growth, a clear understanding of the role of neighbourhoods in determining outcomes remains elusive. Various attempts have been made to quantify the role of neighbourhoods and limit problems of misspecification that have plagued this literature. Recent...
متن کاملMeasuring the Impact of Asset Complementarities: the case of rural Peru
In previous research efforts, we have shown that what seem to be sizable geographic differences in poverty rates in rural Peru can be almost fully explained by taking into account the spatial concentration of households with readily observable non-geographic characteristics-in particular, public and private assets. This does not mean that geography is not an important determinant of income ineq...
