The Impact of Academic Mobility on the Creation of Localized Intangible Assets
S<sc>chiller</sc> D. and R<sc>evilla</sc> D<sc>iez</sc> J. The impact of academic mobility on the creation of localized intangible assets, <italic>Regional Studies</italic>. Researchers are carriers of significant amounts of knowledge. International academic mobility is thus an important mechanism for inducing interregional knowledge flows. This paper analyses mobility patterns of star scientists, the rationale behind their mobility decisions, and interrelations between academic mobility and the creation of localized intangible assets. In-depth material from twenty-five interviews with star scientists in Germany is combined with data from other studies. One major finding is that the long-term mobility of star scientists in the past simultaneously increased the amount of induced knowledge flows and the creation of localized intangible assets.
