摘要: ABSTRACTInterplay between regional and industrial aspects in the R&D–productivity link: evidence from Europe. Regional Studies. The paper tests effect of interplay sectoral dimensions firm-level research development (R&D)–productivity link. Using a longitudinal database innovative publicly traded European companies 1991 2008, following main results arise. First, elasticity value added with respect to R&D is larger regions characterized by higher innovation performance (knowledge hubs versus zones). Second, knowledge hubs, industry affiliation mediates gains R&D: high-tech manufacturing firms profit more than low-tech ones. This suggests that an environment increases capacity translate investments into productivity for industries. virtuous circle not at work services
