Abstract

R&D is good for economic growth. There is now compelling evidence that R&D is in particular good for local economic growth, since knowledge spillovers tend to be bounded by distance. But how local is local? This paper studies the role of proximity in innovation in the Netherlands, a small country. We find that proximity does not promote industrial knowledge spillovers within the Netherlands, nor spillovers from all-discipline universities. But we do find that distance limits spillovers from universities of technology.
