This paper contributes with empirical findings to the research on structural inequality and geographic concentration of European inventorship activity at the level of European micro regions. We analyze the spatial structure and dynamics of 43 technology fields (ISI-SPRU-OST concordance) and 6...

Demographic change is expected to affect labour markets in very different ways on a regional scale. The objective of this paper is to explore the spatio-temporal patterns of recent distributional changes in the workers age structure, innovation output and skill composition for German regions by...

Demographic ageing is expected to affect labour markets in very different ways on a regional scale. Contributing to this debate, we explore the spatio-temporal patterns of recent distributional changes in the worker age structure and innovation output for German regions by conducting an...

The presence of extraordinary geographical variation in Internet use in the U.S. is widely acknowledged. Prior research suggests that individual, household, and regional differences are responsible for this disparity. We argue for an alternative explanation: that individual choice is subject to...

This paper contributes with empirical findings to European co-inventorship location and geographical coincidence of co-patenting networks. Based on EPO co-patenting information for the reference period 2000-2004, we analyze the spatial con figuration of 44 technology-speci fic co-inventorship...

For a cross-section of 123 European regions, a positive causal effect of generalised trust on innovation activity is identified using a set of geographic instrumental variables from climate and soil data. The geographic instrumental variables are defined and discussed. The popular explanation...

Wir analysieren die räumliche Verteilung verschiedener Kategorien kreativer Personen in Deutschland. Allgemein ist der Anteil der Kreativen in den Städten höher als auf dem Land. Ein etwas abweichendes Standortverhalten zeigen die freiberuflichen Künstler, für die auch in einigen...
