Structural dynamics of regional innovation patterns in Europe: the role of inventors’ mobility

Regional Studies, 2019, vol. 53, issue 1, 30-42

Abstract: The role of inventors’ mobility on the innovative capacity of the host region has largely been highlighted, measured and empirically proved. In this work, the perspective is a rather different one. The paper assesses the role that the flow of inventors and high-skilled technicians has on the region's capacity to modify its structural mode of innovation. By applying the regional patterns of innovation framework in a dynamic perspective, it is shown that inventors’ inflows across space produce structural dynamics in the mode regions innovate.
