论文摘要
牢固的集群被视为对创新产生积极影响,可以将其解释为规模经济或知识溢出。这些簇成功的过程仍然很难分离。我们在本文中提出了一个基于程式化的代理模型,以测试企业之间地理位置接近性和非正式知识交流在创新中的作用。该模型是在合成公司簇上运行的。敏感性分析和系统模型探索揭示了相互作用距离对创新的强烈影响,当空间相互作用更加激烈时,质量转移会发生性别转移。模型双目标优化显示了创新和产品多样性之间的妥协,这表明在实践中为群集的权衡取舍。因此,从进化的角度来看,该模型为系统地探索公司群集地理与创新之间的相互作用提供了第一个基础。
Firm clusters are seen as having a positive effect on innovations, what can be interpreted as economies of scale or knowledge spillovers. The processes underlying the success of these clusters remain difficult to isolate. We propose in this paper a stylised agent-based model to test the role of geographical proximity and informal knowledge exchanges between firms on the emergence of innovations. The model is run on synthetic firm clusters. Sensitivity analysis and systematic model exploration unveil a strong impact of interaction distance on innovations, with a qualitative shift when spatial interactions are more intense. Model bi-objective optimisation shows a compromise between innovation and product diversity, suggesting trade-offs for clusters in practice. This model provides thus a first basis to systematically explore the interplay between firm cluster geography and innovation, from an evolutionary perspective.
