The impact of regional absorptive capacity on spatial knowledge spillovers

Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008

We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Is regional innovative activity path-dependent? : an empirical analysis for Germany

Bode, Eckhardt - 2001

Based on a standard idea-based model of endogenous growth we test the hypothesis that regional innovative activity is path-dependent, and investigate the geographical scope of knowledge spillovers. Using data for West-German regions, two alternative indicators of the stock of knowledge are...
