Space versus networks in the geography of innovation: A European analysis
Open accessAbstract
Abstract. This paper provides an original framework for the interpretation of innovative activity among European regions according to traditional ‘geographical’ spillovers and ‘relational’ spillovers. The focus is on two knowledge-based relational phenomena: participation in the same research networks (within the EU Fifth Framework Programme) and EPO co-patent applications. Using two econometric techniques, we investigate the factors that determine patenting activity, distinguishing structural features, geographical and relational spillovers. In this way, we are able to test whether hierarchical relationships based on a-spatial networks between geographically distant excellence centres prevail over diffusive patterns based on spatial contiguity. Abstract. Este artículo proporciona un marco original para la interpretación de actividades innovadoras entre regiones europeas de acuerdo con spillovers (efectos derrame) tradicionales, “geográficos” y “relacionales”. Se pone atención sobre dos fenómenos relacionales de tipo conocimiento: participación en las mismas redes de investigación (dentro del Quinto Programa Marco de la UE) y solicitudes de copatentes en la EPO. Usando dos técnicas econométricas, investigamos los factores que determinan el proceso de patentes, diferenciando características estructurales, y spillovers geográficos y relacionales. De este modo, somos capaces de analizar si ciertas relaciones jerárquicas basadas en redes no espaciales entre centros de excelencia geográficamente distantes predominan sobre patrones de difusión basados en contigüidad espacial.

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.
