A review of the literature does not provide conclusive results about the effects caused by firm agglomeration on innovation. In order to shed light on this issue, this paper draws a distinction among three kinds of agglomeration economies and empirically tests their respective impact on business innovation. The advantage that external knowledge generated through concentration can bring to each company depends on its absorptive capacity. Hence, it is posited that this dynamic capability acts as a mediator in the relationship between agglomeration and innovation. Using data from a survey conducted in 2013 by the Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC), an analysis of these ideas was performed using a sample of 2,906 high and medium-high technology companies. The results obtained indicate that several types of agglomeration economies exist and that the net effect each one of them has on innovation is different. More specifically, only urban ization economies favor innovation. Additionally, all of our findings reveal that firms increase their greater absorptive capacity in the context of agglomeration.

集聚经济的类型:对商业创新的影响
对文献的回顾并没有提供关于企业集聚对创新的影响的结论性结果。为了阐明这个问题,本文对三种集聚经济进行了区分,并实证检验了它们对商业创新的影响。通过集中产生的外部知识能给每个公司带来的优势取决于其吸收能力。因此,假设这种动态能力在集聚和创新之间的关系中起到了中介作用。使用技术创新小组 (PITEC) 2013 年进行的一项调查的数据,对 2,906 家高科技和中高科技公司的样本进行了对这些想法的分析。所得结果表明存在多种类型的集聚经济,且每种类型对创新的净效应不同。更具体地说,只有城市化经济体有利于创新。此外,我们所有的研究结果都表明,企业在集聚的背景下提高了更大的吸收能力。
