“…In this perspective, the presence of some formal R&D activities within SMEs may be crucial, not only as a pre-requisite for in-house innovation, but also as a primary asset for increasing their ''absorptive capacity'' Levinthal 1989, 1990) in terms of external knowledge and for gaining value from technological spillovers and cooperation from larger firms and knowledge institutions, such as universities or public labs (see Audretsch and Vivarelli 1994;Piga and Vivarelli 2004;Simonen and McCann 2008).…”

“…In our research, by splitting R&D co‐operation behaviour as a proxy for face to face contact from labour mobility which is used as a proxy for human capital mobility, our analysis allows us to capture some of the subtleties and complexities of knowledge spillover mechanisms which are hidden if human capital acquisition is not spatially disaggregated (Simonen and McCann 2008b), but rather is proxied bluntly using density (Carlino et al. 2007).…”

This paper investigates the role played by the knowledge transfers fostering innovation in Finnish high technology industries. In particular, we examine the roles played by both face-to-face knowledge transfers and also human capital transfers between different types of agents and institutions in the promotion of innovation. In order to examine these issues we employ a unique innovation dataset which provides information about a firm's innovation performance along with information regarding the geographical and sectoral origins of a firm's recent labour acquisitions, disaggregated according to different types of agents and institutions. This allows us to develop proxies for inter-firm face-to-face knowledge exchanges and also human capital knowledge transfers. The analysis of these data allows us to identify the different roles which the geography of knowledge exchanges and labour markets between agents and institutions play in regional innovation processes.

The effect of gender diversity and education level on innovation RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el impacto de la diversidad de género y el nivel educativo de los empleados de I+D en la innovación. Para ello, empleamos como fuente de información la encuesta de innovación tecnológica en España, que pertenece al plan general de estadísticas de la Unión Europea (Eurostat). Con una muestra de 7.962 empresas, en su mayoría pequeñas, los resultados revelan que la diversidad de género y el nivel educativo de los empleados de I+D influyen positivamente de forma individual en la innovación de producto, aunque no se encuentra un impacto significativo del efecto conjunto.PALABRAS CLAVE | Innovación, diversidad de género, nivel educativo, I+D, innovación de producto. RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o impacto da diversidade de gênero e do nível educacional dos funcionários da I+D na inovação. Para tanto, empregamos como fonte de informação a pesquisa de inovação tecnológica na Espanha, que faz parte do plano geral de estatísticas da União Europeia (Eurostat). A partir de uma amostra de 7.962 empresas -em sua maioria, pequenas -, os resultados revelam que a diversidade de gênero e o nível educacional dos funcionários da I+D influenciam positivamente, de forma individual, a inovação de produto, embora não se encontre uma influência significativa do efeito conjunto.
