Determinants of the efficiency of regional innovation systems
Résumé
This paper analyzes differences in the efficiency of regional innovation systems (RIS). Alternative measures for the efficiency of RIS based on the concept of a knowledge production function are discussed. The empirical findings suggest that both spillovers within the private sector as well as from universities and other public research institutions have a positive effect on the efficiency of private sector R&D. It is the intensity of interactions between private and public sector R&D that leads to high efficiency. Regions dominated by large establishments tend to be less efficient than regions with a lower average establishment size.
