This paper proposes a theoretical model of spatial duopoly, where the location, on the one hand, and the absorptive capacity of rms as function of their internal R&D investment, on the other hand, endogenously determine the maximum level of knowledge spillovers rms might absorb. Our goal is to...

The present contribution develops on the analysis of clusters in terms of proximities by exploring the issue of distant inter-cluster collaborations. We mobilize different forms of proximity (geographic, cognitive, social) discussed in the literature in order to identify their respective...

In this explorative study, we adopt a knowledge-centred perspective on clusters and investigate whether clusters? internal structure explains clusters? external (knowledge) collaborative strategies. All in all, the main analytical issue underlying this paper is the following: do internal...
