Breakthrough Inventions and the Growth of Innovation Clusters

William Kerr

Chapter 2.3 in The Innovation for Development Report 2010–2011, 2011, pp 103-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In a now classic study, AnnaLee Saxenian (1994) brought the migration of innovation clusters into focus for academics and practitioners. Intellectual heavyweights like Alfred Marshall (1920) and Jane Jacobs (1970) had long studied and debated the sources of clusters, how they worked, and even their decline. And much of the recent academic work continues in this vein. For example, Ellison, Glaeser, and Kerr (2010) quantify the relative importance of reasons why clusters form.
