Abstract

This research examines spatial patterns of manufacturing product innovation and provides a model of factors contributing to geographic concentration of innovation. The model maintains that innovation is related to concentrations of innovative inputs, including: university R&D, industrial R&D, the presence of related industry and the presence of specialized business services. Empirical estimation reveals evidence of the importance of geographically mediated spillovers.
