The Geography of Innovation: A Cross-sector Analysis

Breschi, Stefano·2000·Regional Studies

Abstract

BRESCHI S. (2000) The geography of innovation: a cross-sector analysis, Reg. Studies 34 , 213‐229. This paper attempts to identify some broad empirical regularities in the geographical distribution of innovative activities. The basic hypothesis which is advanced is that spatial patterns of innovation vary greatly amongst sectors according to the specific features of the underlying technology, as summarized by the concept of technological regime. In order to verify such a hypothesis, an empirical analysis was carried out by using European Patent Office (EPO) data for the period 1978‐91. Two main results emerge from such analysis. On the one hand, the empirical evidence shows the existence of remarkable differences across technological classes in the spatial patterns of innovation. On the other hand, one also typically observes the existence of quite remarkable similarities across countries in the spatial patterns of innovation within each technological class. BRESCHI S. (2000) La géographie de l'innovation: une analyse intersectorielle, Reg. Studies 34 , 213‐229. Cet article cherche à identifier quelques facteurs constants empiriques généraux de la distribution géographique des activités innovatrices. L'hypothèse fondamental avancé affirme que la distribution géographique de l'innovation varie sensiblement suivant le secteur et en fonction des caractéristiques particulières de la technologie sous-jacente, comme le résume la notion de régime technologique. Pour vérifier un tel hypothèse, une analyse empirique se voit effectuer à partir des données provenant de l'Institut européenne de la propriété industrielle sur la période de 1978 à 1991. De cette analyse il se fait jour deux résultats principaux. D'un côté, les preuves empiriques laissent voir la présence des écarts remarquables dans la distribution géographique de l'innovation en fonction de la catégorie technologique . De l'autre côté, on note aussi la présence des similarités considérables dans la distribution géographique de l'innovation au sein de chaque catégorie technologique suivant le pays . BRESCHI S. (2000) Die Geographie der Innovation: eine Sektoren überschreitende Analyse, Reg. Studies 34 , 213‐229. Dieser Aufsatz versucht, grobe empirische Unregelmäßigkeiten in der geographischen Streuung innovativer Tätigkeiten zu identifizieren. Die hier vorgestellte Hypothese besagt, daß räumliche Innovationsmuster von Sektor zu Sektor starke Abweichungen aufweisen, die auf spezifischen Zügen ihnen zugrundeliegenden Technologien beruhen, welche im Konzept technologischer Systeme zusammengefaßt werden. Um solch eine Hypothese zu bestätigen, wird eine empirische Analyse mit Hilfe von EPO (Europäisches Patentamt) Daten für den Zeitraum 1978‐1991 durchgeführt. Sie erbrachte zwei Hauptergebnisse. Einerseits zeigt das empirische Beweismaterial, daß in den räumlichen Mustern der Innovationen beachtliche Unterschiede über technologische Systemklassen hinweg bestehen. Andrerseits kann man auch typisch das Bestehen durchaus beachtlicher Ähnlichkeiten über ganze Länder hinweg in den räumlichen Innovationsmustern innerhalb jeder einzelnen technologischen Klasse beobachten.

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.
