Determinants of the efficiency of regional innovation systems

Abstract: This paper analyzes differences in the efficiency of regional innovation systems (RIS). Alternative measures for the efficiency of RIS based on the concept of a knowledge production function are discussed. The empirical findings suggest that both spillovers within the private sector as well as from universities and other public research institutions have a positive effect on the efficiency of private sector R&D. It is the intensity of interactions between private and public sector R&D that leads to high efficiency. Regions dominated by large establishments tend to be less efficient than regions with a lower average establishment size
