Geographic Spillovers of University Research: on Patent Activities of the High Technology Sectors in Austria

Chapter 8 in The Emergence of the Knowledge Economy, 2002, pp 139-153 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract New economic growth theories may be simply described as an attempt to revive the notion of increasing returns within a theoretical framework that retains the cardinal virtues of the neo-classical systems. Accumulation of knowledge and its spillover into productive capacity is a central theme in these theories (see Romer 1986, 1990; Grossman and Helpman 1991). An interesting aspect has been the renewed interest in the geographic scope of the spillovers between knowledge creation and its economic application, or in other words, the extent of Marshallian spatial externalities, as identified in the new economic geography (see Krugman 1991, 1999).
