Abstract
In the agri-food sector, intellectual capital includes innovation and tradition, which are often wrongly perceived as incompatible. The impact of intellectual capital on regional development has not been widely studied, particularly in the context of the Italian agri-food sector, which has a strong territorial heterogeneity. This paper aims to measure the impact of intellectual capital and know-how on regional development in the agricultural sector using a nonparametric efficiency methodology applied to a unique geographic area-based dataset. The study finds that innovation, measured by patents, has a better impact on efficiency than the relational component, which has an inverted U-shaped effect.
在农业食品行业,知识资本包括创新和传统,而创新和传统往往被错误地认为是不相容的。智力资本对地区发展的影响尚未得到广泛研究,特别是在意大利农业食品行业的背景下,因为该行业具有很强的地域异质性。本文旨在采用一种非参数效率方法,以独特的基于地理区域的数据集为基础,衡量知识资本和专有技术对农业部门区域发展的影响。研究发现,以专利衡量的创新对效率的影响要优于关系部分,后者具有倒 U 型效应。
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
