我们调查了来自大学研究的空间中介知识转移的证据。我们考察了公司是否将研发地点设在大学附近，以及那些这样做的公司是否更有可能与大学合作或从大学获得知识。我们发现，制药公司将研发地点设在靠近前沿化学研究部门的地方，这与获得本地化的知识溢出一致，但也与科学园区的存在有关。化学品研发与材料科学系共址，10公里内的公司更有可能直接与大学接触。在其他行业，我们发现的与大学研究合用的证据较少，甚至没有证据。
We investigate evidence for spatially mediated knowledge transfer from university research. We examine whether firms locate R&D near universities, and whether those that do are more likely to co-operate with, or source knowledge from them. We find that pharmaceutical firms locate R&D near to frontier chemistry research departments, consistent with accessing localized knowledge spillovers, but also linked to the presence of science parks. Chemicals R&D exhibits co-location with materials science departments, with firms within 10 km more likely to directly engage with universities. In other industries we find less, or no evidence of co-location with university research.
