Regional Studies. This paper incorporates time dependence into a regional knowledge-production function framework. Within this setup, the long-run dynamic behaviour of research and development (R&D) and knowledge is analysed in four European countries – France, Germany, Italy and Spain – using unit-root tests and co-integration techniques. We find that the regional stock of knowledge is co-integrated with R&D employment and external knowledge. Nonetheless, knowledge spillovers play a more important role in the generation and accumulation of new ideas. This suggests that innovation policies should aim at enhancing knowledge diffusion and regional absorptive capacity. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S16-ADETRE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/CUD2015-SOC-04 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2014-SOC-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 3.147 2017 ECONOMICS 36 / 353 = 0.102 2017 Q1 T1 GEOGRAPHY 12 / 83 = 0.145 2017 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 26 / 108 = 0.241 2017 Q1 T1 2.087 2017 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Vera-Cabello, María (orcid)0000-0001-8973-6804 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
