Poolability and aggregation problems of regional innovation data : an application to nanomaterial patenting

Patuelli, Roberto ; Vaona, Andrea ; Grimpe, Christoph

Research and development (R&D) in the field of nanomaterials is expected to be a major driver of innovation and economic growth. In this respect, many countries, as national systems of innovation, have established support programs offering subsidies for industry- and government-funded R&D. Consequently, it is of great interest to understand which factors facilitate the creation of new...

Knowledge production in nanomaterials : An application of spatial filtering to regional systems of innovation

Grimpe, Christoph ; Patuelli, Roberto

Nanomaterials are seen as a key technology for the 21st Century, and much is expected of them in terms of innovation and economic growth. They could open the way to many radically new applications, which would form the basis of innovative products. In this context, it seems all the more important for regions to put their own innovation systems in place, and to ensure that they offer a suitable...
