TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed the geography of innovation in the very long run using a US patent dataset geocoded for the years 1836-2010, and found that innovation becomes less geographical concentrated in the first half of the life cycle, to then re-concentrate in the second half.Abstract:
The geographical distribution of innovative activities is an emerging subject, but still poorly understood. While previous efforts highlighted that different technologies exhibit different spatial patterns, in this paper we analyse the geography of innovation in the very long run. Using a US patent dataset geocoded for the years 1836-2010, we observe that ? while it is true that differences in technologies are strong determinant of spatial patterns ? changes within a technology over time is at least as important. In particular, we find that regional entry follows the technology life cycle. Subsequently, innovation becomes less geographical concentrated in the first half of the life cycle, to then re-concentrate in the second half.read more

The geography of Industry 4.0 technologies across European regions
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) considering both region and technology-specific factors is investigated, focusing on patent data for four technologies at the core of I4.

R&D Spillovers and the Geography of Innovation and Production
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution of innovation activity and the geographic concentration of production are examined, using three sources of economic knowledge: industry R&D, skilled labor, and the size of the pool of basic science for a specific industry.

Entropy and diversity
TL;DR: The standard similarity measure based on untransformed indices is shown to give misleading results, but transforming the indices or entropies to effective numbers of species produces a stable, easily interpreted, sensitive general similarity measure.

Entry, Exit, Growth, and Innovation over the Product Life Cycle
TL;DR: In this article, a model emphasizing differences in firm innovative capabilities and the importance of firm size in appropriating the returns from innovation is developed to explain the regularities concerning how entry, exit, market structure, and innovation vary from the birth of technologically progressive industries through maturity.

Regional Innovation Systems, Clusters, and the Knowledge Economy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic account of the idea and content of regional innovation systems following discoveries made by regional scientists, economic geographers and innovation analysts, and conclude that the source for Europe's innovation gap with the United States rests on excess reliance on public intervention, which signifies major market failure.
