Abstract

The empirical evidence produced in Chap.​ 4 has suggested that not only innovative activities pursued locally affect regional economic performance but also those pursued in neighbouring regions play a positive and significant effect. On the basis of this evidence we analysed how different indigenous socio-economic conditions may result in a differential capability to translate exogenously produced knowledge into regional growth. In this chapter, by building upon the analysis pursued so far, we focus our attention on the spatial extent of such knowledge spillovers. In other words we aim at assessing if knowledge spillovers tend to decay with distance and to what extent.

The indicator of accessibility to innovation used in this book is purely geographical. While we acknowledge that geographical distance may neither be a sufficient, nor a necessary condition for the assimilation of spillovers, and cognitive, organizational, social, and institutional proximity play an important role in the diffusion of knowledge (Boschma 2004; see also queryIammarino and McCann 2006), the quantitative nature of the analysis prevents us from focusing on these other forms of proximity. Hence we measure the geographical distance between different socio-economic structures in regions, but not the social distance between these same structures.
