Spatial Clustering, Local Accumulation of Knowledge and Firm Competitiveness
Abstract
This paper draws together theory on spatial agglomeration of economic activity, innovation processes, and international business to address the phenomena of spatial clustering, accumulation of knowledge in local milieux and firm competitiveness. It builds a conceptual model explaining the process of local knowledge accumulation and why there are important barriers to the diffusion of knowledge from one local milieu to another. The role of transnational corporations (TNCs) in linking together localized processes of knowledge accumulation is discussed, and it is argued that the actions of TNCs do not in any fundamental way alter our understanding of the localized process of knowledge accumulation.

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.
