Innovation in cities: Science-based diversity, specialization and localized competition
1.9K
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the effect of the composition of economic activity on innovation and test whether the specialization of economic activities within a narrow concentrated set of activities is more conducive to knowledge spillovers or if diversity, by bringing together complementary activities, better promotes innovation.

Spatial Spillovers in Metropolitan Areas: Evidence from Swiss Communes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated spatial spillovers in local spending decisions by using panel data of the Swiss communes in the canton of Lucerne during the 1990s.

Exploring the spatially varying innovation capacity of the US counties in the framework of Griliches' knowledge production function: a mixed GWR approach
Dongwoo Kang,Sandy Dall'erba +1 more
TL;DR: A high degree of spatial heterogeneity in the marginal effects of the knowledge input variables is indicated for the local and distant spillovers of private knowledge measured across MSA counties, and local academic knowledge spillovers are found to display spatially homogenous elasticities in both MSA and non-MSA counties.

Technological diversification and new innovators in European regions:evidence from patent data
Carlo Corradini,Lisa De Propris +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of regional technological diversification on the emergence of new innovators across EU regions was assessed by integrating analyses from regional economics, economic geography and technological change literatures, and the role that regional embeddedness of actors characterised by diverse technological competencies may have in fostering novel and sustained interactions leading to new technological combinations.
The role of technology and relatedness in regional trademark activity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between technological capabilities and new trademark applications, and provided insights into trademark activity at the regional level via two objectives: the first is to examine the relationships between technological capability and trademark applications.
Wage Premia in Employment Clusters: Agglomeration or Worker Heterogeneity?
Shihe Fu,Stephen L. Ross +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the correlation between wages and the spatial concentration of employment can be explained by unobserved worker productivity differences, and residential location is used as a proxy for a worker's unobserved productivity, and average workplace commute time is used to test whether location based productivity differences are compensated away by longer commutes.

Absorptive capacity: a new perspective on learning and innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new, external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends is critical to its innovative capabilities.
Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity, which is essentially a competitive equilibrium model with endogenous technological change.

Endogenous Technological Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stock of human capital determines the rate of growth, that too little human capital is devoted to research in equilibrium, that integration into world markets will increase growth rates, and that having a large population is not sufficient to generate growth.

Increasing Returns and Economic Geography
TL;DR: This paper developed a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized core and an agricultural periphery, in which manufacturing firms tend to locate in the region with larger demand, but the location of demand itself depends on the distribution of manufacturing.
