Titolo: Knowledge Externalities in Industrial Clusters

Abstract: Evidence from Indirect Local Knowledge Spillovers from Innovation Hubs Support - We assess to what extent Catapults-supported firms might generate local spillovers in industrial clusters. We apply a novel approach of the fuzzy regression discontinuity design, where we consider the discontinuity in the statistical significance of the spatial agglomeration of Catapults-supported firms. We identify positive externalities from Catapults-supported firms, in particular for unengaged firms located nearby high clusters of Catapult-supported businesses. These operate mainly through the stimulation of unsupported firms to engage with the Catapults network, encouraging productivity growth, but no upscaling by existing companies or any increase in start-up rates in surrounding areas.
