Government R&D expenditure and space: empirical evidence from five industrialized countries

Article Abstract:

Technology policies will produce positive regional impact only when they pursue clear spatial objectives for an extended period of time. Regional technology policies reflect the needs of the regions better than policies on the national level. The intensity of spatial spread of public research and development expenditures has also been found to be less important in diffusion-oriented states. Finally, regional technology policies cannot compete with national policies due to the former's limited funds.

The implications of network use, production network externalities and public networking programmes for firm's productivity

Article Abstract:

A study of electrical and electronics companies in Finland showed the industry to be defined by a production function based on production network externalities. Although no relation was established between a company's communications technologies and its output and productivity, certain strategic advantages were gained by companies active in industry networking against other companies.
