This book contributes to our understanding of the reasons for the
uneven geographic emergence and distribution of innovative
start-ups and human capital, analyzing the role of the regional
knowledge base and specifically academic knowledge. Using extensive
datasets from West German regions and advanced econometric tools,
it confirms a strong relationship between the presence of higher
education institutions and the emergence of innovative start-ups.
It also shows that the influence increases in direct relation with
the innovativeness of the respective start-up, and that certain
fields of knowledge are more influential than others in fostering
innovative start-ups. In a second step, the multidimensional
concept of quality of life is used to explain the geography of
human capital across West German regions. Based on these empirical
findings, the book shares valuable insights for higher education
and regional development policy.
