The concept of Bridging Technologies (BTs) refers to technologies which are important for the regional knowledge base … patenting regions are not necessarily the ones that embed most new technologies in their Knowledge Space (KS). Our findings …

or output of a knowledge production function. We suggest that the productivity of research in patent production functions … to patentable knowledge, and development happens after the initial research phase that may have led to a patent. Instead … of using data on R&D, we separate the knowledge creating process into 'R' and 'D'. This data stems from R&D surveys of …

examining inter-relationship between knowledge spillovers from imports and inward FDI. Moreover, human capital is added to the … discussion as one of the appropri- ability conditions for knowledge spillovers. However, in comparison to most studies that rely …, a strong complementary rela- tionship is found between knowledge spillovers through the channels of imports and inward …

We analyze the development of the German knowledge base measured by co-classifications of patents by German inventors … hypothesis states that technologies which become more central to the knowledge base are also characterized by a higher …. -- Knowledge relatedness ; Innovator networks ; Interdisciplinary research ; Patents ; Key Technology …

disentangle differential effects of team heterogeneity by modeling two separate heterogeneity dimensions, namely knowledge scope … and knowledge disparity. Analyzing unique data on functional experiences of the members of 337 start-up teams, we find … support for our contention of team heterogeneity as a two-dimensional concept. Results suggest that knowledge disparity …

Various forms of interaction during the process of research and innovation constitute a global network of knowledge … network to participate in global knowledge ows and to increase success in idea generation, invention and innovation. In this … chapter, we review the literature on two of the most important channels of international knowledge diffusion in the field of …

assessing how the structure of actor-based knowledge networks is affected by such policies. We continue in that direction and … analyze how technology-based regional knowledge spaces structurally respond to the introduction of a cluster policy. Taking … the example of the German BioRegio contest, we examine how such knowledge spaces in winning and non-winning regions …
