Knowledge Production in Swedish Functional Regions 1993-1999

Andersson, Martin; Ejermo, Olof - KITeS, Centre for Knowledge, Internationalization and … - 2002

Knowledge production function approaches to estimation of knowledge flows in regions have recently come under attack not to open the ’black box’ of knowledge creation and it has been questioned whether spillovers really are the key determinant of knowledge diffusion rather than market...

Knowledge Production in Swedish Functional Regions 1993-1999

Ejermo, Olof - KITeS, Centre for Knowledge, Internationalization and … - 2002

Industrial classifications offer arguably poor schemes for classifying innovative activity. Moreover, a single measure incorporating technological relatedness between the inherent classes, captures the neglected issue of Jacobs (1969) and Marshall (1920), that the degree of relatedness of...

Trends in R&D, innovation and productivity in Sweden 1985-2002

Kander, Astrid; Ejermo, Olof - Centre for Innovation, Research and Competence in the … - 2006

We use a new, comprehensive database covering Swedish industry and service firms 1985-2002, to examine trends in the ratio between patenting and R&D (PR-ratio). There is a fall in PR-ratios in the long run (1985-2002) on the aggregate level and for all sectors. In general low-tech sectors...
