Resumen

Dentro del marco de una Función de Producción de Conocimiento (FPC) se estudia la existencia de efectos de desbordamiento de los sistemas nacionales de innovación hacia sus regiones. Para ello se incluye en la FPC tradicional no sólo variables regionales sino también nacionales. La FPC incluye en total 52 variables que –mediante un análisis factorial– se han reducido a unas pocas variables sintéticas. El trabajo ofrece evidencia de la existencia de efectos de desbordamiento que resultan ser asimétricos. Sus intensidades son menores para las regiones menos desarrolladas tecnológicamente y mayor en las regiones intermedias, mientras que para las regiones centrales o más avanzadas resultan ser casi inexistentes.
