The Geography of Innovation
Abstract
The geography of innovation refers to the spatial clustering of innovative activity and the advantages conferred by co-location. Economic actors realize gains when located to places with abundant resources, well-developed social networks and the chance for serendipitous encounters: all factors that increase the probability of recognizing opportunity and easily solving problems. Location can lower search costs through localized knowledge spillovers and provide access to external scale and scope economies. Firms are one mechanism for organizing economic activity and social networks are another; geography provides an alternative platform that easily brings together resources external to firm and augments social networks through face-to-face interaction. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
