The paper explores the potential for inter-sectoral technology flows in industrial clusters in Germany. With the help of a product-embodied R&D flow matrix, calculated using data on input-output tables and sectoral R&D employment, we construct industrial cluster based networks of technology...

Regional politicians regard the cluster concept as a key factor for promoting regional economic performance. They refer to a comprehensive set of theoretical and empirical literature which provides the clusters' positive impact on regional development. Recent studies dealing with that topic...

Network analysis in the input-output field is an ongoing and interesting area of research which has seen a rise in contributions in recent years. In the input-output field, studies based on graph and network theory have been developed only about topological measures used descriptively. Modelling...

This paper assesses a few issues related to the question of finding the so-called important coefficients in an input-output table. Further, these coefficients are located in the corresponding matrices of Canada, the USA and Mexico. Important coefficients are analysed employing graph theoretical...
