Using the variance structure of the conditional autoregressive spatial specification to model knowledge spillovers
利用条件自回归空间模型的方差结构刻画知识溢出
Abstract This study investigates the pattern of knowledge spillovers arising from patent activity between European regions. A Bayesian hierarchical model is developed that specifies region‐specific latent effects parameters modeled using a connectivity structure between regions that can reflect geographical proximity in conjunction with technological and other types of proximity. This approach exploits the fact that interregional relationships may exhibit industry‐specific…
