This paper investigates the impact of “relational” spillovers, arising from participation in
European research networks, on knowledge creation across European regions. We use …

The geography of innovation traditionally concentrates on localised knowledge spillovers,
yet neglects collaboration networks as a means to access knowledge outside the region …

The production of scientific and technical knowledge is mostly concentrated in specific
locations (high-tech clusters, innovative industry agglomerations, centres of excellence, and …

This paper investigates the impact of participation in European scientific networks on the
stock of knowledge and on economic growth. We use scientific links in FP programmes to …

We investigate how R&D networks impact regional innovation, considering alternative
connectivity structures based on co‐publications, co‐inventions and projects supported by …

Productivity across European regions is related to three types of networks that mediate R&D-
related knowledge spillovers: trade, co-patenting and geographical proximity. Both our …

The explanation of different levels of innovation and their spatial distribution represents the
central focus of the analysis. The empirical literature documents the incidence of spatial …

We investigate how R&D networks impact regional innovation, considering alternative
connectivity structures based on co‐publications, co‐inventions and projects supported by …

This paper provides an original framework for the interpretation of innovative activity among
European regions according to traditional 'geographical'spillovers and 'relational'spillovers …

Abstract Knowledge diffusion is argued to be strongly influenced by knowledge networks
and spatial structures. However, empirical studies primarily apply an indirect approach in …
