Methods in Action: “Spatial regression models for estimating determinants of regional knowledge creation”

Sep 5, 2022 @ 9:00 am - Sep 12, 2022 @ 12:00 pm

The “Methods in Action Series” course “Spatial regression models for estimating determinants of regional knowledge creation” is organized by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and will take place on online platform on 5 September and 12 September 2022.

Topic and objective

• Dealing with common issues in spatial regression models on research and innovation data at the regional level

• Including Spatial Durbin Models, spatial weight matrices and coefficients interpretation (direct, indirect spillover and total effects)

• Application to an interesting recent research debate, investigating drivers of different modes of regional knowledge creation

• Specific emphasis shifted to the impact of R&D networks on regional knowledge exploration versus knowledge exploitation

Online course including:

• Online lecture on spatial regression models as adequate instruments to estimate drivers of innovation at regional level.

• Group exercises where participants will apply spatial regressions models using example datasets

• Plenary discussion on pros and cons of regression strategies and how to motivate them to the reviewers.
