Modern economies are described as ‘knowledge based’. This book investigates the meaning of such a statement, assessing the relevance of knowledge and the channels through which knowledge is exchanged, both from a theoretical and an empirical perspective.

‘. . . this book constitutes an important contribution to the literature on knowledge diffusion and networks. It provides novel results, raises new questions and hopefully will spur new work in this area.’
– Lorenzo Zirulia, Journal of Evolutionary Economics

‘The book uses state-of-the-art theorizing about a topic that has attracted a lot of attention in the past five years or so. It provides a very useful review of the literature, and is very well written and on a novel topic. I especially liked the methodological rigour in the exposition of the model, yet at the same time the text remains accessible to a wide readership. I highly recommend the book.’
