Determinants of the Efficiency of Regional Innovation Systems

Michael Fritsch, Viktor Slavtchev · 2008 · Regional Studies

Summary. Regional innovation systems perform better when private and public research institutions interact intensively and share knowledge spillovers. Regions with smaller average establishment sizes generate more efficient innovation than those dominated by large firms. The study measures efficiency using knowledge production functions and patent data to compare how well regions convert research inputs into innovative outputs.
