Exploring the Knowledge Filter - How Entrepreneurship and University-Industry Relations Drive Economic Growth
This paper focuses on the exploitation of opportunities and commercialization of knowledge, namely the transformation of knowledge into products, processes and organizations, and their contribution to regional economic growth. This paper also introduces entrepreneurship and university-industry relations as mechanisms for knowledge spillovers and determinants of economic growth. The results of the empirical analysis suggest that new ventures and partnerships between university and industry amplify the permeability of the knowledge filter and thus spur economic growth.
