Abstract

This article aims at evaluating the link between knowledge properties and geographical proximity in the coordination R&D activities of firms. This evaluation is based on a statistical analysis of 614 responses to a survey carried out in France over 3740 plants having R&D activities. The concepts of critical interfaces in research and of complexity of knowledge base are used to understand the role of geographical proximity. Results confirm that this framework may be able to explain the spatial dynamics of industrial R&D. Moreover, the diversity of sectoral patterns shows that geographical proximity is not the ?one best way? to support coordination of R&D activities. Classification JEL : R12, O31, O32.
