Spinoffs and Clustering
Golman, Russell; Klepper, Steven - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2013
Geographic clustering of industries is typically attributed to localized, pecuniary or non-pecuniary externalities. Recent studies across innovative industries suggestthat explosive cluster growth is associated with the entry and success of spinoff firms. We develop a model to explain the...

Persistence and extinction of brokerage roles in clusters: the role of status, former experiences and extra-cluster relationships
Belso-Martínez, José-Antonio; Expósito-Langa, Manuel - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2015
Shifting away from traditional approaches orientated towards the analysis of the benefits associated with brokerage, this paper provides valuable insights on the dynamics of this particular network position. Using fine grain micro data collected in a Spanish industrial cluster, the evolution of...

Do Firms Benefit from Being Present in Multiple Technology Clusters? An Assessment of the Technological Performance of Biopharmaceutical Firms
Lecocq, Catherine; Leten, Bart; Kusters, Jeroen; Looy, … - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2010
&D activities in multiple technology clusters. Regions in the US, Japan and Europe, that host a concentration of biotechnology … activity are identified as clusters. Fixed-effect panel data analyses with 59 biopharmaceutical firms (period 1995 …-2002) provides evidence for a positive, albeit diminishing (inverted-U shape) relationship between the number of technology clusters …

Are technological gatekeepers constraining my cluster? Unfolding the paradox of gatekeepers resilience across cluster life cycle stages
Hervas-Oliver, Jose-Luis - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2012
The economic geography literature assumes that large leading firms (technology gatekeepers)(TGs) with high absorptive capacity and high-intensity R&D expenditures, shape the district learning process. However, there is an absence in the literature of a dynamic analysis of the role of the TG....

The trilogy of knowledge spillovers in French regions: a history of nature, channels and boundaries
Brossard, Olivier; Moussa, Inès - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2012
We suggest three theoretical propositions on the nature, channels and boundaries of knowledge spillovers, and we test them with knowledge production functions estimated on French NUTS 3 regions over 2002–2008. Several novelties are introduced. First, we quantify external R&D to complement the...
