Research Networks and Inventors' Mobility as Drivers of Innovation: Evidence from Europe

Ernest Miguélez, Rosina Moreno · 2011 · Regional Studies

Summary. This paper examines how inventor mobility and research collaboration networks drive regional innovation across Europe. Using spatial econometric methods, the authors find that when inventors move within regions, innovation increases significantly. However, the relationship between research network characteristics and innovation is less straightforward. The study accounts for geographic spillovers and spatial dependencies in innovation patterns.
