Abstract:
This paper addresses the pattern of knowledge flows as indicated by patent
citations between European regions. Our findings support the hypothesis that
there are important barriers to knowledge flows in Europe. Patent citations
occur more often between regions which belong to the same country and which
are in geographical proximity. Furthermore, patent citations are industry
specific and occur most often between regions that are specialised in
industrial sectors with specific technological linkages between them. Patent
citations are also more frequent when the citing region belongs to the same
linguistic group as the cited region.
