Abstract

ABSTRACT The innovativeness of a firm not only improves its own survival chances but also can generate externalities on its neighbouring firms. We empirically examine the role of agglomeration economies in how innovativeness affects firm survival in southern Italy, using spatial weights to model spillovers. Spatial Durbin probit model estimates confirm that innovation is an important determinant of firm survival, not only for firms that are themselves innovative but also for those located close to other innovative firms. Adequate definitions of spatial scale and spatial weights are important. Spillover benefits are enhanced by agglomeration economies, but only at a very local scale.

空间集聚、创新与意大利制造业企业生存

摘要企业的创新性不仅提高了自身的生存机会，而且会对周边企业产生外部性。我们使用空间权重对溢出效应进行建模，实证研究了集聚经济在创新性如何影响意大利南部企业生存中的作用。空间Durbin probit模型估计证实，创新是企业生存的重要决定因素，不仅对于那些本身具有创新能力的企业，而且对于那些靠近其他创新企业的企业。空间尺度和空间权重的充分定义很重要。集聚经济增强了溢出效益，但只是在非常局部的范围内。

期刊介绍： Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics, published by two of the world"s leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. A spatial perspective has become increasingly relevant to our understanding of economic phenomena, both on the global scale and at the scale of cities and regions. The growth in international trade, the opening up of emerging markets, the restructuring of the world economy along regional lines, and overall strategic and political significance of globalization, have re-emphasised the importance of geographical analysis.
