Territorial Capital and Regional Growth: Increasing Returns in Cognitive Knowledge Use

Capello, Roberta; Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2009

Knowledge drives the growth of nations and regions in a competitive space-economy. Hence, we would expect a strong correlation between investments in R&D, knowledge and learning processes, on the one hand, and productivity increases, on the other. However, the empirical evidence shows consistent...
