Different possible scales for growth and innovation analyses
spatial dimension, the sectoral dimension and the time dimension
are represented. In Fig. 1a, regional developmentanalyses are
revealed, where the economyis sliced vertically into regions and
their dynamics are investigated. The study of the evolution of
industries, typical of evolutionary industrial e- nomics, is
represented in Fig. 1b, where the economy is divided horizontally
into sectoral slices. This approach has progressed considerably in
recent years (see Malerba 2006, for a recent survey). Modi?cations
of industries have important spatial implications, which however
are not normally at the core of these ana- ses even though spatial
patterns of innovation differ greatly from sector to sector
(Breschi 2000). Our approach operates in the manner of Fig. 1a and
we will focus on regions, extending the analysis to industries only
where this is regionally and structurally relevant. Hence, the
approach in the book belongs to the tradition of regional
development theories, but, in contrast to the more traditional
analyses, we will not consider the region as an economic unit per
se. Rather, interactions between and within regions are very
relevant to the performance of individual regions in an integrated
world and will be at the core of the analyses of the following
chapters.
