为了研究区域间人力资本知识流动与区域知识资产的关系，本文构建了一个联立方程模型。在GIS系统的帮助下，我们建立了英国学生和毕业生从大学到就业的跨地区迁移行为、地区知识资产和毕业生就业地区之间的同步关系模型。我们的研究结果表明，在控制了学生和毕业生的人力资本流动之后，支持大学研究与区域创新之间直接溢出的证据很少。相反，大学系统的主要作用似乎是作为一个渠道，将潜在的高质量本科人力资本引入一个地区。因此，我们认为，作为对区域学习效应的解释，英国具体化人力资本的迁移效应似乎比非正式的大学-产业溢出效应更为重要。
Our paper constructs a simultaneous equation model in order to investigate the relationship between interregional human capital knowledge flows and regional knowledge assets. With the aid of a GIS system, we model the simultaneous relationship between the interregional migration behaviour of British students and graduates from university and into employment, the knowledge assets of the regions, and the regions of employment of the graduates. Our results indicate that after controlling for the human-capital flows of students and graduates, there is little evidence in favour of direct spillovers between university research and regional innovation. Rather, the primary role of the university system appears to be as a conduit for bringing potential high quality undergraduate human capital into a region. We argue therefore that the migration effects of embodied human capital in Great Britain appear far more important than informal university-industry spillovers as an explanation of regional learning effects.
