摘要

各区域采用新技术的多样化是由与该区域已经存在的现有能力的联系程度所推动的。在多样化机会相当有限的情况下,从邻近区域或较远地区溢出的外部知识可能成为区域多样化的重要推动力。尽管通过协作工作的区域间知识流动相对重要,但我们对跨区域协作网络如何促进多样化进程的理解仍然非常有限。本研究通过向欧洲专利局提交的专利申请中报告的技术类别,调查了欧洲大都市和非大都市地区进入新知识领域的多样化模式。研究结果表明,外部导向的发明者协作网络增加了新技术专业化进入区域的可能性,但这种外部导向对相关多元化的重要性低于对非相关多元化的重要性。此外,研究结果表明,如果外部知识来源是基于一组不同的区域,如果位于不同区域的公司内部的合作非常激烈,那么区域间协作网络有助于向不相关的技术多样化。跨地区的企业内部合作可以弥补大都市地区和非大都市地区缺少的相关技能,但在非大都市地区尤为重要。这些结果为多地点企业内部知识流动在区域技术知识多样化中的重要性提供了新的证据。

Understanding Regional Branching: Knowledge Diversification via Inventor and Firm Collaboration Networks
The diversification of regions into new technologies is driven by the degree of relatedness to existing capabilities already present in the region. In cases where opportunities for diversification are rather limited, external knowledge that spills over from neighboring regions or from farther away might become an important driver of regional diversification. Despite the relative importance of interregional knowledge flows via collaborative work, we still have a very limited understanding of how collaboration networks across regions might facilitate diversification processes. The present study investigates the diversification patterns of European metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions into new knowledge domains via technology classes reported in patent applications to the European Patent Office. The findings indicate that externally oriented inventor collaboration networks increase the likelihood that a new technology specialization enters a region, but this external orientation is less important for related diversification than for unrelated diversification. Further, the results demonstrate that interregional collaboration networks help diversification into unrelated technologies if external knowledge sourcing is based on a diverse set of regions and if collaboration is intense within companies located in distinct regions. Within-firm collaborations across regions can compensate for missing related skills in metropolitan and in nonmetropolitan regions alike but are especially important in nonmetropolitan regions. These results provide new evidence about the importance of knowledge flows within multilocation firms in the technological knowledge diversification of regions.

期刊介绍: Economic Geography is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research that advances the field of economic geography. Their goal is to publish high-quality studies that are both theoretically robust and grounded in empirical evidence, contributing to our understanding of the geographic factors and consequences of economic processes. It welcome submissions on a wide range of topics that provide primary evidence for significant theoretical interventions, offering key insights into important economic, social, development, and environmental issues. To ensure the highest quality publications, all submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process with at least three external referees and an editor. Economic Geography has been owned by Clark University since 1925 and plays a central role in supporting the global activities of the field, providing publications and other forms of scholarly support. The journal is published five times a year in January, March, June, August, and November.
