“…The number of foreign patents represents the exogenous inflow of technology that enhances the capacity of a region. The innovative capacity is reflected in the total number of patents normalised by the population [65]. If the estimated coefficient of a foreign patent has a positive signal, then the exogenous technology flow contributes to the evolution of the network.…”

While extant studies on brokerage address its structural competitiveness and network performance, few studies address the fundamental question of whether all the brokerage types have identical and positive effects on network development. Extending the Gould and Fernandez’s brokerage topology, the study measures the contribution of the brokerage roles over to the network evolution. For the purpose, the Chinese technology transfer flow networks were utilized to reveal the brokerage patterns of three anchor regions—Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The analysis outlines that Beijing and Shenzhen, as nation-wide brokerage hubs, transmit the technology across the whole regions, while Shanghai seems to be a more balanced broker region connecting the neighbour regions with the others. The longitudinal simulation analysis demonstrates that a liaison-type brokerage function, connecting the heterogeneous knowledge sources, contributes to the growth of the regional network.

“…The liaison connects different regions in different super-regions. To sum up, the main contribution of anchor regions, in the perspective of the national innovation system, is directed to the external regions outside rather than inside of the super-regions [65].…”
