Title: The geography of small firm innovation
First published: 2004
Description: "The Geography of Small Firm Innovation offers a look at the importance of geographic proximity to the innovative activity of the high-tech small firms. The work explores the concentration of innovation across metropolitan areas in the United States during the 1990's by introducing a novel measure of small-firm innovation based on the U.S. Small Business Innovation Research Program, the largest federal R & D program for small business. The empirical evidence indicates the differing effects of technological infrastructure on the likelihood of innovation occurring in a metropolitan area, which has implications for public policy."--Jacket.
