“…In particular, when firms collaborate with universities or governmental research institutes, publication is likely. Goddard and Isabelle (2006) indicate, for example, that co‐publications are the most frequently occurring outcome of research collaboration between French academic organisations and firms.…”

Collaboration and the exchange of knowledge are supposedly made easier by geographical proximity because of the tacit character of knowledge. Recently a number of scholars' criticised this view on geographical proximity as being oversimplified and argued that the precise role of geographical proximity for knowledge exchange and collaboration still remains unclear. This paper analyses the role of geographical proximity for collaborative scientific research in science-based technologies between universities, companies and governmental research institutes. We test the hypothesis that the collaboration between different kinds of organisations is more geographically localised than collaboration between organisations that are similar due to institutional proximity. Using data on co-publications, collaborations patterns are analysed and the hypothesis is confirmed. Copyright (c) 2007 the author(s). Journal compilation (c) 2007 RSAI.

“…Another study covering 194 SMSAs in the USA found a positive correlation between the amount of R&D expenditures in the private sector and in the public science institutions (Bania et al, 1992). European studies with a similar research design (Goddard and Isabelle, 2006; come to comparable findings.…”

As scientists and policymakers tend to interpret changes in the economy as a trend towards an increasingly knowledge-based economy, their recommendations and strategies for regional economic development frequently contain elements how to intensify the knowledge flows in the region concerned. Knowledge flows come into existence from intentional action, but also in an unintended way as externalities or knowledge spill-overs. This paper reviews the ways, regional and urban economics has dealt with this concept of knowledge spill-overs. Knowledge spill-overs are defined within a conceptual framework that points out different uses of knowledge in economics. The concept's operationalisations in diverse empirical studies are systematised and discussed. After a critical review of the current state of research, policy strategies aiming to intensify knowledge spill-overs are classified. The paper concludes with an outlook on promising new approaches to research knowledge spill-overs and on the elaboration of more efficient policy strategies.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Franz, P.

“…; von Proff and Dettmann ). Studies that use survey data to capture the geographical determinants of university‐industry collaboration, although they explore the characteristics of the interactions in more detail, do not investigate the objectives of collaboration (Goddard and Isabelle ; D'Este and Patel ; Garcia‐Aracil and Fernandez De Lucio ; Bruneel et al. ).…”

For very helpful comments that have greatly improved the paper, we are grateful to the participants in the EAEPE conference "The economic crisis and the renewal of the European model(s): Revisiting the debate on varieties of capitalism", Bordeaux, October 28-30, 2010, and to three anonymous reviewers. AbstractThis study examines firms' decisions to collaborate with universities in their region as opposed to non-regional universities, focusing on the role of collaboration objectives.Through a survey of a representative sample of manufacturing firms in the Piedmont region (Italy), we find that firms seeking business advice are more likely to collaborate with regional universities while firms seeking R&D support and testing and analysis services are more likely to collaborate with both regional and nonregional universities. The partner university's location is endogenous to the level of investment in the collaboration; and the collaboration objectives provide good instruments. Some implications for regional policy are discussed.
