This project explores the hypothesis that KIBS have differential impacts on regional innovation capacity depending on the stage of technology life-cycle, and of the attending know-how. The empirical analysis focuses on Italian regions (NUTS 2) over the period 2000-2017. Using patent data to identify the life-cycle stages (from emergence to maturity) and employment data to compute the location quot

The idea of this project is to provide a spatial analysis of the impact of different types of agglomeration economies (urbanisation economies, Marshallian economies of specialisation, Hirschman linkages between KIBs and their users both in service and Manufacturing, and Jacobian economies) on the sectoral specialization and variety of KIBS across the Italian NUTS3 regions (provinces) from 2012 to
