Innovation, Spillovers and University-Industry Collaboration: An Extended Knowledge Production Function Approach
TLDR
In this paper, the effect of knowledge spillovers from academic research on regional innovation is analyzed using an extended knowledge production function framework applied to regions in the Netherlands, and it is shown that the impact of academic research is not only mediated by geographical proximity but also by networks stemming from university-industry collaboration.Abstract:
This article analyses the effect of knowledge spillovers from academic research on regional innovation. Spillovers are localized to the extent that the underlying mechanisms are geographically bounded. However, university-industry collaboration - as one of the carriers of knowledge spillovers - is not limited to the regional scale. Consequently, we expect spillovers to take place over longer distances. The effect of university-industry collaboration networks on knowledge spillovers are modelled using an extended knowledge production function framework applied to regions in the Netherlands. We find that the impact of academic research on regional innovation is not only mediated by geographical proximity but also by networks stemming from university-industry collaboration.read more

Impacts and Channels of University Spillovers Before the National Innovation System Reform in Japan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the presence and mechanism of university spillovers in the period when university-industry collaborations encountered institutional barriers and found positive university spillover in many technological categories.

Space and Knowledge Spillovers in European Regions – The Impact of Different Forms of Proximity on Spatial Knowledge Diffusion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the channels through which knowledge spreads and found that the diffusion of a nonrival market knowledge externality is related to geographical proximity, and that the local endowment of absorptive capacity reduces such a flow, while relational, social, technological, and cognitive proximity lock-in maximizes the returns to local investment in R&D.

Do Inventors Talk to Strangers? On Proximity and Collaborative Knowledge Creation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how physical, organisational, institutional, cognitive, social, and ethnic proximities between inventors shape their collaboration decisions, and find that physical proximity is an important influence on collaboration, but is mediated by organisational and ethnic factors.
