Description :
Knowledge spillovers are subject to distance decay effects. The main aim is to provide a theoretical framework and empirical evidence on the role played by other kinds of proximities in explaining productivity growth. A sample of EU regions in the period 1990-2004 is used. There is an evidence of a positive role of social and relational proximities as important channels of knowledge spillovers. When simultaneously present, different kinds of proximities generate synergic effects on growth.
