Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine the spatial distribution of knowledge-intensive services (KISs) and its relation with innovation in 194 European regions. The methodology applied is known as spatial analysis and evaluates whether there are clusters of KIS. In addition, by employing a spatial econometric model, some potential explanatory factors for the concentration of KIS are examined. The results obtained support the hypothesis that KIS are spatially concentrated and confirm the existence of clusters. Moreover, a close relationship between location of KIS and regional innovation activity is found.
