Do Regions Matter for R&D?

KLEINKNECHT A. and POOT T. P. (1992) Do regions matter for RD a notable exception is service industries in the four major cities. Moreover, smaller firms do not seem to be more dependent on their regional environment than their larger counterparts. Furthermore, we find no indication that branch plants of larger firms are typically located in the periphery of The Netherlands. However, our finding that firms in more rural areas tend to have relatively higher shares of process-related R&D is consistent with the urban hierarchy and filter-down theory.
