 Knowledge Spillovers in a Spatial Context — A Critical Review and AssessmentCharlie Karlsson () and Agostino Manduchi Chapter 6 in Knowledge, Complexity and Innovation Systems, 2001, pp 101-123 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Since the pioneering works of Schumpeter (1934, 1942), a considerable amount of research has investigated the relationship between the pace of innovative activity and the pace of economic development. Although increases in the stock of knowledge — as well as the constantly improving possibility of exploiting any given stock of knowledge - have been widely regarded as the driving force of economic growth in developed countries (Kuznets 1966; Teece 1981), economists have only recently made serious efforts to model the process of knowledge creation. Many recent contributions to economic growth theory have however remarked that although we generally model the level of technological knowledge as a public good, with no restrictions imposed on the spatial extension of the spillovers associated with it, the stocks of technological knowledge do differ significantly across countries and regions (see for example Romer 1994).
