Co-operation in Regional Innovation Systems
Abstract
The paper deals with co-operative relationships of manufacturing firms in three German regions. By applying a hurdle-count data model, differences between regions as well as between smaller and larger firms are analysed. The differences between regions regarding the propensity of firms to co-operate are mainly due to peculiarities of the small business sector. Spatial proximity is obviously of particular importance for horizontal co-operation and for relationships to publicly funded research institutions. The link between the cooperative behaviour of firms and the performance of the regional innovation system remains, however, unclear. Cet article traite du partenariat des entreprises industrielles situées dans trois régions en Allemagne. On anlayse les différences interrégionales ainsi que les différences entre les petites entreprises et les grandes entreprises. Pour ce qui est de la propensité des entreprises ¤ a coopérer, les différences interrégionales s'expliquent largement par des particularités de la petite entreprise. Il va sans dire que la proximitégéographique est d'une importance indéniable pour la coopération horizontale et pour les rapports avec les centres de recherche publics. Toujours est-il que le lien entre le partenariat des entreprises et la performance des systèmes d'innovation régionaux reste ambigu. In dem Aufsatz wird das Kooperationsverhalten von Industriebetrieben in drei deutschen Regionen anhand eines Hürden-Zähldatenmodells analysiert. Dabei werden sowohl interregionale Unterschiede als auch Unterschiede zwischen kleinen und größeren Betrieben herausgearbeitet. Es zeigt sich, dass Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Kooperationsneigung zwischen den Regionen vor allem auf entsprechenden Besonderheiten der Kleinbetriebe beruhen. Räumliche Nähe ist offenbar insbesondere für die horizontale Kooperationsbeziehungen sowie für die Zusammenarbeit mit öffentlichen Forschungseinrichtungen von Bedeutung. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Kooperationsneigung und der Leistungsfähigkeit des entsprechenden regionalen Innovationssystems bleibt unklar.

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.
