Abstract: During the past decade, a rapidly expanding literature has appeared focusing on the relation between innovation and growth. Studies in the literature on economic geography and innovation have focused on the spatial dimension of the relation between innovation and growth (see BALWIN et al. [2001] or BALDWIN and MARTIN [2004] for a review). This literature provides some motivation for regional inequalities as a striking and persistent feature of both developed and less developed economies. A number of different theoretical frameworks have been developed to analyse the geographical dimension of innovation and its implications for regional growth. Beyond essentially theoretical literature regarding: clusters and other regional or localized systems of innovation and the cumulative causality of regional agglomeration economics as it relates to the theory of endogenous growth, there are a growing number of related empirical studies that have followed several paths of exploration.
