Patents and innovation counts as measures of regional production of new knowledge
TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide an exploratory and a regression-based comparison of the innovation count data and data on patent counts at the lowest possible levels of geographical aggregation, and determine the extent to which the innovation data can be substituted by other measures for a deeper understanding of the dynamics involved.About:

Why is economic geography not an evolutionary science? Towards an evolutionary economic geography
Ron Boschma,Koen Frenken +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the commonalities and differences between the three approaches in terms of soft-heoretical content and research methodologies, and argue that evolutionary economic geography can be seen as a bridge between evolutionary theory and institutional and evolutionary theory.

Energy storage deployment and innovation for the clean energy transition
TL;DR: In this article, a two-factor model that integrates the value of investment in materials innovation and technology deployment over time from an empirical dataset covering battery storage technology is presented, and a viable path to dispatchable US$1W−1 solar with US$100kWh−1 battery storage is charted.

Small Worlds and Regional Innovation
TL;DR: It is found that both shorter path lengths and larger connected components correlate with increased innovation and the existence of regional small-world structures and the emergence and disappearance of giant components in patent collaboration networks is revealed.

Entrepreneurship, Agglomeration and Technological Change
Abstract: Technological change is a central element in macroeconomic growth explanation. Endogenous growth models take a revolutionary step towards better understanding the economic growth process by deriving technological change from profit-motivated individual behavior. In endogenous growth theory knowledge spillovers play a fundamental role in the determination of the rate of technological progress. As such the efficiency of transmitting knowledge into economic applications is a crucial factor in explaining macroeconomic growth. Endogenous growth models take this factor exogenous. We argue that variations across countries in entrepreneurship and the spatial structure of economic activities could potentially be the source of different efficiencies in knowledge spillovers and ultimately in economic growth. We develop an empirical model to test both the entrepreneurship and the geography effects on knowledge spillovers. To date the only international data that are collected on the basis of exactly the same principles in each country are the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data. We use the 2001 GEM cross-country data to measure the level of entrepreneurship in each particular economy. For this purpose we apply the TEA index developed within the framework of the GEM project and calculated for each country participating in this international research. Additionally, data on employment, production, patent applications, public and private R&D expenditures originating from different international and national sources are applied in the paper.

Small Worlds and Regional Innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and exploited a novel database on patent coauthorship to investigate the effects of collaboration networks on innovation and found that both shorter path lengths and larger connected components correlate with increased innovation.

The Tacit Dimension
TL;DR: The Tacit Dimension, originally published in 1967, argues that such tacit knowledge - tradition, inherited practices, implied values, and prejudgments - is a crucial part of scientific knowledge.

Spatial Econometrics: Methods and Models
TL;DR: In this article, a typology of Spatial Econometric Models is presented, and the maximum likelihood approach to estimate and test Spatial Process Models is proposed, as well as alternative approaches to Inference in Spatial process models.

Geographic Localization of Knowledge Spillovers as Evidenced by Patent Citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the geographic location of patent citations to those of cited patents, as evidence of the extent to which knowledge spillovers are geographically localized, and find that citations to U.S. patents are more likely to come from the U. S., and more likely than coming from the same state and SMSA as cited patents than one would expect based only on the preexisting concentration of related research activity.

Patent Statistics as Economic Indicators: A Survey
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey on the use of patent data in economic analysis, focusing on the patent data as an indicator of technological change and concluding that patent data remain a unique resource for the study of technical change.
