Abstract

New firms have been regarded as one of the key elements for local development. Existing studies focus on the direct impact of new firms via labour markets and job creation. However, the impact of new firms on regional innovation is less investigated. Our analyses are conducted for a developing country, Turkey. Findings of the study show that new firms are crucial for the regional differences in innovation. Results are robust to spatial dependence, an alternative firm formation measure, various regional controls and endogeneity issues. Additionally, impact of the new firms is spatially non-homogenous reminding the ineffectiveness of one-size-fits-all type policies.

新公司能促进本地创新吗?来自土耳其的证据

新公司被视为地方发展的关键因素之一。现有的研究集中在新公司通过劳动力市场和创造就业机会的直接影响上。然而，新企业对区域创新的影响研究较少。我们的分析是针对发展中国家土耳其进行的。研究结果表明，新企业对区域创新差异起着至关重要的作用。结果对空间依赖性、替代企业形成措施、各种区域控制和内生性问题具有鲁棒性。此外，新企业的影响在空间上具有非同质性，这提醒了一刀切型政策的有效性。

期刊介绍： International Regional Science Review serves as an international forum for economists, geographers, planners, and other social scientists to share important research findings and methodological breakthroughs. The journal serves as a catalyst for improving spatial and regional analysis within the social sciences and stimulating communication among the disciplines. IRSR deliberately helps define regional science by publishing key interdisciplinary survey articles that summarize and evaluate previous research and identify fruitful research directions. Focusing on issues of theory, method, and public policy where the spatial or regional dimension is central, IRSR strives to promote useful scholarly research that is securely tied to the real world.
