A geography of corporate knowledge flows across world regions: evidence from patent citations of top R&D-investing firms
JRC Working Papers on Corporate R&D and Innovation No 03/2019
This exploratory study looks at the structural and geographical patterns of corporate knowledge flows from a regional perspective. The methodological approach brings together the centrality indicators developed in the social network analysis (SNA) and complementary tools from the graphs theory to assess the betweenness centrality of regions (or poles) and the relative contribution of individual firms (or layers) to the centrality of regions centrality. The combination of the two approaches brings relevant insights on the way large R&D-driven firms organise their knowledge sourcing and generation across world regions.
