What is innovated. Second, as researchers discuss their concerns about how to define innovation. I am struck by the many different interpretations of innovation, the lack of consensus on a framework both to define the theory of innovation and the ways to measure it, and by the vast number of empirical studies that are done, but using relatively simplistic measures. Most of the studies are aspatial, with the analyst focusing on the type of innovation done, not where it is done and on how knowledge is transferred depending upon whether it is codified or tacit knowledge.
There are a number of recognized proxies: patent applications, Measurement of clustering and dispersion of innovation 15 expenditure on R&D, employment of engineers and scientists, number of non-production workers, etc. These make it possible to proceed with established econometric techniques as if innovation could be measured. But each of these proxies measures only a very special aspect of innovation, as is generally acknowledged. Innovation is not simply an exotic variable of interest to a few specialists.
Will the internet alter this tendency to cluster geographically? Intersectoral linkages To the extent that industries “take in each others’ washing,” innovation in one sector is likely to require or induce innovation among its suppliers and customers: new designs call for changes in the properties of components and materials, and vice versa. My own early simulations (Carter 1970) indicated that changes in input vectors were adaptive: a sector’s input-output structure required less total Measurement of clustering and dispersion of innovation 25 factor input per unit of its output when embedded in the context of current, rather than earlier, input-output structures for other sectors.
