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....

Emergence of innovation networks from R&D cooperation with endogenous absorptive capacity
Egbetokun, Abiodun Adeyemi; Savin, Ivan - 2013
This paper extends the existing literature on strategic R&D alliances by presenting a model of innovation networks with endogenous absorptive capacity. The networks emerge as a result of bilateral cooperation over time between firms occupying different locations in the knowledge space. Social...

Regional FDI spillovers and local suppliers : disentangling the effects of foreign ownership, technology gap and absorptive capacity
Jordaan, Jacob A. - 2012
In this paper, I present novel empirical evidence in support of the idea that FDI firms can act as an important driver of regional growth, by acting as a source of new knowledge and technologies to local suppliers in a host economy. For the analysis, I use unique firm level data that I obtained...

Which indicators of absorptive capacity enhance import-induced South-North convergence in labor intensities?
Hübler, Michael; Glas, Alexander - 2013
We hypothesize that North-South trade is associated with knowledge spillovers that create labor productivity gains depending on various determinants of Southern absorptive capacity. We use the novel World Input-Output Database (WIOD) that provides bilateral and bisectoral panel data for 39...

The trade-off between absorptive capacity and appropriability of the returns to innovation effort
Crowley, Frank; Jordan, Declan - 2018
A key concept in the economics of innovation is the 'public good' nature of knowledge. This generates a tension between incentivizing knowledge production by allowing knowledge creators appropriate the economic benefits and encouraging its diffusion to enhance the social return to knowledge...

Technology Platforms in Europe: an empirical investigation
De Propris, Lisa; Corradini, Carlo - 2013
In the last decades, innovation activity has been defined by an increasing complexity and a faster pace of the underlying technological change. Accordingly, several studies have shown that competitive systems of innovation benefit from being able to build upon a wide but integrated spectrum of...
