Industrial Dynamics and Clusters: A Survey (2015, background): “Similarly, it can be argued that local labour market are also the main level at which knowledge spillovers occur, as such spillovers often stem from employees’ social networks in the local area (BRESCHI and LISSONI, 2009), though some have argued that such spillovers are likely to occur primarily at”
Public R&D Policies and Private R&D Investment: A Survey of the Empirical Evidence (2015, result): “In support of Dorfman’s (1983) early results, Woodward et al. (2006) more recently find for the USA that R&D expenditures at universities positively affect the location decision of new high-tech plants in a county.”
INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN LAGGING REGIONS (2013, unknown): “For example, Woodward et al. (2006) found that proximity to university-led research and development only modestly increases the probability of high-technology firm start-ups, though with distance effects that spread out up to 145 miles.”
Entrepreneurship, Evolution and Geography (2009, background): “…scale where these spillovers take place is not clear, as these knowledge spillovers are said to extend up to approximately 10 km (Baldwin et al. 2008), 50 (Anselin et al. 1997), 75 (Varga 1998), 145 miles (Woodward et al. 2006) or even 300 km from their source of origin (Botazzi and Peri 2003).”
Knowledge Spillovers from Research Universities: Evidence from Endowment Value Shocks (2014, background): “…and industries, which addresses a wide 10 For recent corroborating research that industries locate near universities to capture the unique local benefits of their research activities, see Zucker et al. (1998), Woodward et al. (2006), Abramovsky et al. (2007), and Furman and MacGarvie (2007).”
The impact of local and external university knowledge on the creation of knowledge-intensive firms: evidence from the Italian case (2014, unknown): “5 Several studies have found that R&D expenditures by universities have a positive effect on new firm creation at the Footnote 5 continued local level (e.g., Harhoff 1999; Woodward et al. 2006; Kirchhoff et al. 2007).”
The effect of the triple helix system and habitat on regional entrepreneurship: Empirical evidence from the U.S. (2012, unknown): “employees, educational degrees, university R&D, creativity, foreign population, political structure, land costs, taxes, natural amenities, and others (Armington and Acs, 2002; Audretsch and Lehmann, 2005; Brixy and Grotz, 2007; Kirchhoff et al., 2007; Lay, 2003; Lee et al., 2004; Spilling, 1996; Wan”
