Summary
Does invention agglomerate, and if so, where does it agglomerate? In this chapter we examine changes in patterns of agglomeration in invention over time, using data on patent applications from all granted US patents.
There are plenty of reasons to expect invention to agglomerate. Carlino and Kerr’s (2015) recent handbook chapter summarizes many such results, emphasizing the role of input sharing, labor market matching, and knowledge spillovers, among others.
