Social embeddedness appears to be a promising way to analyze knowledge collaborations, notably to better understand their build up and their spatial patterns. Nevertheless, measurement problems and an over-territorialized conception of the notion exist. When studying the formation of these...

The notions of embeddedness and tacit knowledge are often used in the theories explaining spatial proximity effects in the relations between academic research and firms. Even if the two notions have a close origin (they have been defined by two brothers, Karl and Michael POLANYI), they imply...

This study analyses the geographic structure of the relations between the academic laboratories and the firms, using as a basis the contracts between the CNRS laboratories and their industrial partners (firms and some state technological organizations). This analysis makes evident that the...

In 1993, Revue d?Economie Régionale et Urbaine published a special issue on Proximity Dynamics in which several scholars proposed a first distinctive approach between geographical proximity and organized proximity to provide clearer explanations on the spatial dimension of economic activities....
