Regional configurations of innovative dynamics and socio-economic performances of French regions (In French)

The paper attempts to characterize the configurations of innovation dynamics within the French regions, using the methodological approach in terms of social systems of innovation and production developed by Amable, Barré and Boyer. The statistical analysis of a broad whole of data makes it possible to highlight the various regional profiles in the Science-Technology-Industry interactions, in training and education, and in economic and social performances during the 90s. The analysis underlines the close link between these regional performances and their scientific and technological competences, as well as the advantages of industrial, scientific and technological diversification / of specialization on dynamic sectors.
