Description :
The paper investigates aspects of the urban hierarchy and concentration of patent sub-categories in US metropolitan areas by estimating Zipf, Gini and Moran's I coefficients. Results do not support a power law depiction of the location of disaggregate patenting in the entire metropolitan system. Technologies are cross-classified, which reveals aspect of variety in locational patterns and offers clues into systems of knowledge exchange in urban-based technological advance.
