Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between regional labour market characteristics and innovation outcomes in the Federal Republic of Germany. In particular, we use regressions to determine how the composition of the regional population - in terms of their human capital endowments, their cultural diversity and their milieu affiliation - influences patent activities. We also test different spatial units in our models to establish which regional level is more appropriate for our analysis.
