Which regional conditions facilitate university spinouts retention and attraction?
研究了经济与制度因素如何影响区域留存本地创立的大学衍生企业以及吸引其他地区的大学衍生企业，发现高留存率区域依赖低成本与邻近大学优势，而高吸引率区域则受益于创新资源与集聚经济。
We discuss the economic and institutional factors that contribute to regions retaining university spinouts (USOs) founded within their borders as well as attracting USOs from other regions. Using UK data, we find that those regions with high USO retention rates have lower urbanization and localization economies. This suggests that locally founded USOs take advantage of cheaper inputs in addition to benefits that come from proximity to their home university. However, regions with high USO attraction rates have higher localization economies and innovation resources, suggesting that USOs move there to benefit from dynamic innovation systems. This study offers some general implications for regional and national industrial policy, including the ‘levelling up’ regional policy agenda.
