We develop a R&D-based growth model with productive public expenditure in order to frame the Quadruple Helix (QH) innovation concept, based on four helices: Academia & Technological Infrastructures , Firms , Government and Civil Society . Our motivation stems from acknowledgment that the relationship between these four helices and their joint impact on growth is in need of a theoretical framework. We aim to emphasise the importance to economic growth of innovation systems structured on these four helices. The introduced model confirms theoretically the notion that increases in: (i) complementarities between distinct productive units, or (ii) in productive government expenditure, lead to higher growth.

Value creation in the quadruple helix: a micro level conceptual model of principal investigators as value creators (2018, unknown): “…means to better understand the evolution of the increasing complex relationships between university, industry, government and society in a public science context (see Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, 2000; Carayannis and Campbell, 2009; Afonso et al., 2012; Leydesdorff, 136 VC 2017 The Authors.”
Situated regional university incubation: A multi-level stakeholder perspective (2016, background): “…models are increasingly seen as evolutionary, non-linear and interactive processes between various stakeholders in a regional context (Todtling and Trippl, 2005; Afonso et al., 2012; Carayannis and Rakhmatullin, 2014; Ivanova, 2014) where the model adopted is reflective of contextual factors.”
