Auteur :
MALECKI, E. J.

Description :
Research and development (R and D) activities in the United States, as in other advanced economies, are geographically concentrated relative to other economic activities. When examined at the scale of the metropolitan area and standardized by population, only a small number of urban regions are significant complexes of R and D. Only ten urban regions are concentrations of both private R and D and overall R and D employment in the United States, but these are distributed in all regions of the country.
