The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the role of inventor mobility and inventive collaboration in Brazilian regional innovation. We take into account the regional knowledge production function (RKPF) to incorporate the regional interactions promoted by these two important knowledge diffusion channels. Using a dynamic panel with data from a unique combination of the Intellectual Property Database for Statistical Purposes (BADEPI v1.0) and the Annual Social Information Report of the Labor Ministry (RAIS), we estimate the interregional inventor mobility and co‐invention using a Poisson‐Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimator, and the RKPF using a system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. Our results show that: (a) space exerts a relevant influence on an inventor’s decision to migrate and to collaborate to innovate; (b) inventor mobility among Brazilian regions promotes regional innovation; (c) regional collaboration significantly contributes to regional innovation.

“…Moreover, denser and diverse cities tend to present a better innovative performance what indicates Jacobian advantages for regional innovation in Brazil. Finally, Araújo and Garcia (2019) and Gonçalves, Oliveira and Almeida (2020) highlight the importance of interregional knowledge spillovers associated to innovative activities in Brazil.…”

“…However, the authors used the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) estimator, different from the one proposed in this paper that also considered possible impacts from spillovers of knowledge production in t-1 in neighbors' regions. Montenegro, Gonçalves and Almeida (2011) and Gonçalves, Matos and Araújo (2018) are the only papers in the literature (2011) did the research only for the microregions of São Paulo in the 1996-2003 period while Gonçalves, Matos and Araújo (2018) considered all microregions in Brazil in the 2000-2011 period. Both authors confirmed the importance of path dependence for the production of knowledge.…”

“…To capture innovation and knowledge production, the number of patents created by a particular country is a proxy widely used in the literature (GRILICHES, 1990;ALBUQUERQUE et al, 2002;GONÇALVES, 2007;GONÇALVES and ALMEIDA, 2009;GONÇALVES;MONTENEGRO, 2010;GONÇALVES;ALMEIDA, 2011;GONÇALVES;MATOS;ARAÚJO, 2018;GONÇALVES;ALMEIDA, 2020). According to Miranda and Zucoloto (2015), patents are an important indicator of the presence of "knowledge with an innovative pro le".…”

This paper uses a theoretical motivation for an Expanded Knowledge Production Function(EKPF) that encompasses both path dependence and spatial spillovers to search for evidences inBrazil using a Dynamic Spatial Panel Data approach. The purpose is to identify the determinantsof knowledge production in the 2005-2015 period as well as its temporal evolution, usinginnovation patents as proxies. Regarding its spatial distribution, we identified a North-Southdisparity for the knowledge production in Brazil, with Southeast and South producing alarge part of the country’s patents. Based on the EKPF, we confirmed the importance ofpath dependence and knowledge spillovers to explain the Brazilian innovation. In addition,population density, which generates Jacobian externalities and economies of agglomeration, isan important structural feature in the short run while the number of researchers in universitiesand an increased economic scale are essential to knowledge production in the long run.

This study aimed to empirically analyse the relationship between technological intensity profile and local socio‐economic development, using the theories of path dependence and microregional agglomeration economies. We applied the technique of linear hierarchical modelling with data from 645 municipalities in Brazil. Our results demonstrated that current municipal socio‐economic development could be explained by the local technological path itself but even more so by the technological intensity of the microregion. This article's contribution lies in its union of two theoretical perspectives and its adoption of a quantitative approach, allowing for the analysis of municipal development at two levels, local and microregional.
