Emergence of Nanodistricts in the United States: Path Dependence or New Opportunities

摘要
Multiple economic development theories suggest that research and innovation in emerging technologies will cluster in cer-tain locations rather than being equally distributed among all regions. If this is the case, this distributional pattern has impli-cations for where future economic opportunities and future risks will be concentrated. In this article, the authors probenanotechnology research and commercialization at a regional level. The study examines the top 30 U.S. “nanodistricts,” ormetropolitan areas that lead in nanotechnology research activity, during the 1990 to 2006 time frame. The authors explorethe factors underlying the emergence of these 30 metropolitan areas through exploratory cluster analysis. The results indi-cate that although most of the leading nanodistricts are similar to top cities in previous rounds of emerging technologies,new geographic concentrations of nanotechnology research have surfaced as a result of having made concentrated invest-ments in nanotechnology R&D into a single institution.
中文摘要
多种经济发展理论表明，新兴技术的研究和创新将集中在某些地方，而不是在所有地区平均分布。如果是这样的话，这种分配模式就意味着未来的经济机会和风险将集中在哪里。在这篇文章中，作者探讨了区域层面的技术研究和商业化。这项研究考察了1990年至2006年期间美国前30个“纳米区”，即领导纳米技术研究活动的大都市地区。作者通过探索性聚类分析探讨了这30个大都市圈出现的潜在因素。研究结果表明，尽管大多数领先的纳米区与前几轮新兴技术中的顶尖城市相似，但由于对纳米技术进行了集中投资，纳米技术研究的新的地理集中度已经浮出水面
