The transmission of knowledge between different entities is a central part of the concept of the national innovation system introduced by Lundvall. As knowledge in general, and tacit knowledge specifically, is a statistically rather intangible concept, alternative concepts need to be implemented to account for it. This study uses the idea of inventor mobility to account for tacit knowledge transmissions across the regions of the Russian Federation. In particular, the combination of the results of both ideas is used to account for purely inventor-based knowledge flows. These flows are quantified, and it is shown that basic economic indicators like the quality of the regional research system and the regional income levels are suitable in describing the intensity of knowledge flows.

不同实体之间的知识传递是伦德瓦尔引入的国家创新体系概念的核心部分。由于一般知识，特别是隐性知识，是一个统计上相当无形的概念，需要实施替代概念来解释它。本研究使用发明者流动的想法来解释俄罗斯联邦各地区的隐性知识传播。特别是，这两种想法的结果的组合被用来解释纯粹基于发明人的知识流。这些流动被量化，表明区域研究体系的质量和区域收入水平等基本经济指标适合描述知识流动的强度。
