Abstract

Clustering is one of the key drivers for regional development. The existing literature indicates that the knowledge spillovers, facilitated by the mobility of inventors, play a positive role in the development of clusters. The questions remain as to how the patterns of innovator mobility change while clusters go through different stages of their lifecycles. Using patent authorship data, we construct networks of inventors' movements within two different telecom clusters, in New Jersey and Texas. We observe the evolution of inventor mobility networks overtime, and discuss how the changes in properties of inventor networks can be used to predict the changes in economic or social conditions of the clusters over time.
