The role of universities in regional knowledge base renewal
分析了大学等高等教育机构在区域和国际嵌入性对区域知识基础更新的影响，发现本地嵌入性强且研究产出高的大学最能促进知识更新，而国际嵌入性需结合区域网络中心位置才有效。
We analyse the role of universities or, more generally, higher education institutions (HEIs), in terms of their regional and international embeddedness for regional knowledge base renewal. We assume that the introduction of radical patents in the sense of novel technological combinations contributes to the renewal of the knowledge base. Combining information from patent applications, scientific publications and higher education statistics, we find that HEIs contribute most to knowledge base renewal if they have a strong research output and are locally embedded. International research embeddedness of HEIs benefits regional development only if combined with a central position in the regional network.
