Knowledge and innovation: The strings between global and local dimensions of sustainable growth

Teresa de Noronha and Peter Nijkamp

Entrepreneurship & Regional Development, 2009, vol. 21, issue 4, 441-455

Abstract: The modern growth literature pays much attention to innovation and knowledge as drivers of endogenous developments in a competitive open economic system. This paper reviews concisely the literature in this field and addresses in particular micro- and macro-economic interactions at local or regional levels, based on clustering and networking principles, in which sustainability conditions also play a core role. The paper then develops a so-called knowledge circuit model comprising the relevant stakeholders, which aims to offer a novel framework for applied policy research at the meso-economic level.
