Explaining the Geography of Copatenting in the Scientific Community: a Social Network Analysis

Annals of Economics and Statistics, 2007, issue 87-88, 351-372

Abstract: Based on micro data on the networks of innovation of a French science university, we empirically test whether or not technological knowledge created by academic scientists diffuses in a larger geographic area when the scientists who take part in this technology transfer have a more far-reaching social network. We only find partial network effects, the spatial diffusion of technological knowledge not being significantly and homogeneously influenced by the researchers' positions within the network of science.
