摘要
Relatedness, external linkages and regional innovation in Europe. Regional Studies. This paper analyses if the generation of new knowledge benefits from the combination of similar or dissimilar pieces of existing technologies, in terms of their technological content (related versus unrelated variety), for the case of European regions. Specifically, it analyses the relevance of variety in the case of local knowledge as well as in the case of the knowledge coming from other regions. At the local level, it shows that while related variety is conducive to regional innovation, unrelated variety does play a role, too, when it comes to radical innovations. Conversely, it also shows that external knowledge flows have a higher impact, the higher the similarity between these flows and the extant local knowledge base. Regional Studies. ,(),,,,,,, RESUMELa parente, les liens externes et l'innovation regionale en Europe. Regional Studies. Ce present article cherche a analyser si la production de nouvelles connaissances profite de la synergie des elements similaires ou differents des technologies existantes, en termes de leur contenu technologique (a savoir, la variete apparantee ou non apparantee), pour ce qui est des regions europeennes. Plus precisement, on cherche a analyser l'importance de la variete en ce qui concerne la connaissance locale ainsi que la connaissance qui provient des autres regions. Sur le plan local, on montre que la variete non apparentee a un role a jouer aussi, meme si la variete parentee est propice a l'innovation regionale quand il s'agit des innovations radicales. D'un autre cote, on montre aussi que les flux de connaissances externes ont un plus grand impact plus la similarite entre ces flux et la base de la connaissance locale existante s'avere importante. ZUSAMMENFASSUNGVerbundenheit, externe Verknupfungen und regionale Innovation in Europa. Regional Studies. In diesem Beitrag analysieren wir anhand des Falls der europaischen Regionen, ob die Erzeugung neuen Wissens von der Kombination ahnlicher oder unterschiedlicher Elemente vorhandener Technologien profitiert, was ihren technologischen Gehalt (verbundene oder unverbundene Vielfalt) anbelangt. Insbesondere wird die Relevanz der Vielfalt im Fall des lokalen Wissens sowie im Fall des von anderen Regionen kommenden Wissens untersucht. Auf lokaler Ebene zeigt sich, dass verbundene Vielfalt zwar zu regionaler Innovation fuhrt, aber auch unverbundene Vielfalt eine Rolle spielt, wenn es um radikale Innovationen geht. Gleichzeitig zeigt sich, dass externe Wissensstrome eine umso starkere Auswirkung haben, je hoher die Ahnlichkeit zwischen diesen Stromen und der vorhandenen lokalen Wissensbasis ausfallt. RESUMENVinculos, conexiones externas e innovacion regional en Europa. Regional Studies. A partir del caso de las regiones europeas, en este articulo analizamos si la generacion de nuevo conocimiento se beneficia de la combinacion de elementos similares o diferentes de tecnologias existentes en cuanto a su contenido tecnologico (variedad relacionada o no relacionada). En concreto, examinamos la relevancia de la variedad en el caso del conocimiento local, asi como en el caso del conocimiento que viene de otras regiones. En el ambito local, se observa que aunque la variedad relacionada es favorable a la innovacion regional, la variedad no relacionada tambien desempena un papel en lo que respecta a las innovaciones radicales. Asimismo se muestra que los flujos del conocimiento externo tienen un impacto mas alto cuanto mas alta es la similitud entre estos flujos y la base actual del conocimiento local.
