Title: Innovation and Knowledge Spillovers in a Networked Industry
Abstract: Knowledge and proximity are key concepts in the Geography of Innovation literature (Boschma, 2005). Innovating processes are uncertain because they often take place under unsure conditions and fierce business competitiveness. Geographical proximity can reduce this uncertainty since it potentially facilitates labor movement and knowledge interchange through personal contacts. Supporting this hypothesis, some scholars have highlighted the greater agglomeration of RD activities in technological industries where knowledge plays a significant economic role (Audretsch and Feldman, 1996a).
