Spatial Knowledge Spillovers: “New 3-Zone Interaction Engineering”

Abstract

By using the knowledge filter system and entrepreneurship theory, the paper focused on the relationship of university-specific R&D spillovers and innovative growth based on the modified knowledge production function (KPF). Taking “New 3-Zone Interaction Engineering” as the example, the results demonstrated that the entrepreneurship could penetrate the knowledge filter system and stimulate the commercialization of the knowledge, consequently promoted the contribution of the spatial knowledge spillovers to the regional economic growth. “New 3-Zone Interaction Engineering” referred to the project of co-operation and interaction of the university, the science park and the community, which had been recently launched in Dalian High-technology Zone.
