“…18 . In explaining the probability of undertaking R&D activities, firms' density (Dens) is positive and significant, confirming that spatial concentration of activities fosters the development of networks between firms, which in turns allows an exchange of information that positively affects the firms' innovation activities (Läpple et al, 2016). In addition, geographical proximity to large companies (DMinLaC), Industrial Estates (DMinIS) and transport facilities, such as major road junctions (DMinHWJ), also have an important role in determining the probability of doing R&D. R&D intensity is also affected by geographical variables; here sectoral density is especially significant.…”

“…Equation 1 (Table 3, first column) considers the determinants of firm level absorptive capacity related to capturing external knowledge. The density variables are both significant but with different signs; Dens is positive and significant highlighting the positive effect of agglomeration economies in strengthening the exchange of information among agents (Läpple et al, 2016). But, Sectoral Density (DensSS) is negative and significant, suggesting that the presence of a large number of firms operating in the same sector increases competition, generating barriers to information sharing and so limiting the exchange of knowledge (Folta et al, 2006).…”

“…By using stochastic actor-oriented modelling, the authors prove that geographical proximity has a positive impact on innovation dynamics and on the formation of innovation clusters [7]. Doris Läpple and her co-authors (2016) also discuss the spatial aspect of knowledge transfer in agriculture by analyzing the case of agricultural innovation in Ireland and demonstrate the positive effect that the proximity of leaders of innovation has on their neighbours [8].…”

“…Alguns estudos documentam a necessidade da inovação para satisfazer a demanda global de alimentos, além de mantê-los a preços toleráveis (ALSTON et al, 2009;LÄPPLE et al, 2015;LÄPPLE et al, 2016). O aumento da produção tem possibilitado o crescimento demográfico e econômico de muitas regiões.…”
