“…It is noted that knowledge spillovers not only occur in the local scale, but also take place at a global scale (Bathelt et al, 2004); not only occur through informal knowledge exchange, but also take place through formal networks of research collaboration (Ponds et al, 2010); not only represent spatial spillovers, but also perform relational spillovers (Maggioni et al, 2007). In the context of the globalization, informatization, and networking, the determinants of knowledge spillovers has undergone fundamental changes, most notably the ups of relational and capability proximity and the downs of geographical and cultural proximity Montobbio, Primi, & Sterzi, 2015;Ter Wal, 2014). Formal collaboration networks will be more important than informal knowledge exchange, because the former can occur over longer geographical distances (Ponds et al, 2010) and fresh and novel information from remote partners declines the risk of technological lock-in (Crespo et al, 2014;He & Fallah, 2014).…”

There is consensus among scholars that social networks are important mechanisms of knowledge spillovers. By occupying a central and advantageous network position in the collaboration network, it is easy for actors to access intangible external resources. However, empirical studies of the impact of network structure on knowledge production remain scarce. Based on copublication data from the Web of Science database (WoS) from 2000 to 2015, we construct eleven international scientific collaboration networks and empirically estimate the impacts of multiple network properties, comprehensively measured by degree centrality, structure holes, and small‐world quotient, on national knowledge output. Empirical results based on fixed effect negative binomial models suggest positive effects of the three facets of network properties, that is, higher degree centrality, structural holes, and small‐world quotient are beneficial for facilitating and improving national knowledge production, which in turn encourages international academic collaboration.

“…Niosi and Bellon (1994) find that globalization and specialization are compatible with the openness of countries. In the context of the specialization, international knowledge flows increasingly rely on technological proximity between countries (Montobbio, Primi, and Sterzi 2015).…”

International knowledge flows have become increasingly common and more frequent and are a key driving force promoting the development of global science. However, little attention has been paid to the determinants of international scientific collaboration. Using co‐publication data from the Web of Science database in the period 2000–2014, this paper illustrates spatial patterns of international knowledge flows and estimates the impact of geographical, technological, social, and cultural proximity on the variation of inter‐country collaboration in science. Our findings demonstrate that the coefficients of the four dimensions of proximity are positive and significant in panel estimates and cross‐section estimates—international knowledge flows are facilitated by geographical, technological, social, and cultural proximity. We also find that the effect of geographical and cultural proximity have waned over time, while the impact of social and technological proximity have strengthened.

“…Thus, the question of substitutability/complementarity between geography and the network has been set aside. There is some evidence on this question provided in other contexts (e.g., Bathelt et al ; Boschma ; Montobbio et al ), but empirical findings on this issue remain scarce. Yet, the answer to this question is important policy‐wise.…”

IPRs and International Knowledge Flows: Evidence from Six Large Emerging Countries

Abstract: This paper studies international knowledge flows looking at (1) patent citations that track codified knowledge and (2) technological collaborations between inventors that gauge knowledge transmitted through face to face contacts. It uses a gravity model for 13 countries (Brazil,
