TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of the agglomeration of technological activities on the growth in regional productivity, applying the notion of pecuniary knowledge externalities.

TL;DR: Innovation is a collective process that entails the coordination of distributed knowledge across diverse organizations as mentioned in this paper, which is a common task in all of the above mentioned works. But, as a specific case of technology infrastructures, platforms enable capacity-and capability-building for individuals, teams and organizations.

TL;DR: The emergence of technology systems is the result of interdependen t dynamics of generation and diffusion of complementary bits of localised technological knowledge as mentioned in this paper, which is the crucial element assessing the collective conditions under which technological knowledge is accumulated and diffused.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the costs of collective knowledge production and their implications for the way in which the firm chooses the mix of internal and external knowledge, which in turn shapes the evolution of technological systems.
