Abstract

In this chapter we study the diffusion of automotive knowledge created in the Region of Stuttgart. Patents leave a paper trail in the form of citations that we analyze in order to show which regions learn from e-mobility and fuel cell knowledge created in the region of Stuttgart. We show that citations of the patents of both technologies tend to localize in Germany, Japan and the US. However, in case of e-mobility, while aggregating the countries by groups, the largest number of citations is made by European, more precisely Western European countries. The fact, that domestic knowledge flows in fuel cell technology are not the most intensive can be explained by the early stage of the technology and that there is no hard fundament, on which the new knowledge can be built.

Specialization is defined as the comparison of the share of employment in a cluster category in a region r of the total employment in the same region r, to the share of total European employment in that cluster category over total European employment:

$$ Specialization = \frac{\frac{e_{r,s}}{E_r}}{\frac{E_s}{E}}=\frac{e_{r,s}}{E_r}\frac{E}{E_s} $$

e _rs stands for the employment in a region in the x cluster, E _s refers to the European employment in the x cluster, E _r represents total employment in a region and E total employment in Europe.
