本文评估了大都市区位在解释企业创新绩效方面的作用，同时考虑了创新的其他内部和外部决定因素。使用微观层面的数据集和控制特定于企业，特定于行业和特定于区域的功能，我们确定了一个微妙的影响，在大都市地区内的位置对公司的创新绩效的结果证明是不同的措施，创新产出的公司，特别是没有大都市的优势检测到的二进制自我宣布的措施的创新。的优势是检测计数为基础的创新措施的数量，这是严重依赖于大都市为基础的公司在专利和许可的更高的性能。地点与企业规模之间的相互联系很重要，结果也不对称，微型企业在申请专利和发放许可证方面获得的利益尤其多。
This paper assesses the role of metropolitan location in explaining firms' innovation performance while accounting for other internal and external determinants of innovation. Using micro-level dataset and controlling for firm-specific, sector-specific and region-specific features, we identify a nuanced effect of location within metropolitan areas on the innovative performance of companies The results prove to vary for the different measures of innovation output of firms and in particular there is no metropolitan advantage detected for binary self-declared measures of innovations. The advantage is detected for the count-based quantity of innovation measures which is shown to critically depend on the higher performance of metropolitan-based firms in patenting and licencing. The interlinkages between location and firm-size matter and the results are asymmetric with particular benefits arising for micro-firms in their patenting and licencing.
