Death of distance? — biotechnology agglomeration patterns, alliance proximity, and firm performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an empirical analysis of leading global biotechnology firms with respect to technology agglomeration patterns, proximity to alliance partners, and firm performance for the period 1996-2006, finding that absolute number of technology and product alliances were approximately twice as important as proximity to partners in terms of firm performance.

Cristiano Antonelli,Pier Paolo Patrucco,Pier Paolo Patrucco,Francesco Quatraro,Francesco Quatraro,Francesco Quatraro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that there is an optimal size of knowledge pools and that the output elasticity of knowledge, included in a typical Griliches production function, is itself a quadratic function of the size of innovation networks.

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.
