Research and Development, Spillovers, Innovation Systems, and the Genesis of Regional Growth in Europe

Andrés Rodríguez‐Pose, Riccardo Crescenzi · 2008 · Regional Studies

Summary. This paper combines three approaches to understanding regional innovation in Europe: R&D investment analysis, regional innovation systems, and knowledge spillovers. Using regression analysis across EU-25 regions, the authors show that regional economic growth depends on complex interactions between local and external research combined with local and external socio-economic and institutional conditions. Knowledge spillovers are strongest over short distances, indicating that geographic proximity matters significantly for transmitting economically productive knowledge.
