dc.description.abstract | This paper documents recent developments in German ICT industries. In
particular we report results on spatial patterns in innovation and employment in these
industries. The paper is motivated by previous studies that have found that ICT industries
seem to cluster geographically and having spatially clustered growth rates. In this study,
we discriminate between production of ICT devices and production of ICT services. In
Germany, production of ICT devices is concentrated in clusters of innovating regions (in
terms of patents). ICT service production, on the other hand, is concentrated in larger
urban areas. Growth rates in ICT-related employment show different spatial patterns. The
data show that negative spatial effects are present for several sectors, which might give
support for the so-called backwash effect described by Gunnar Myrdal (1957). For other
sectors, positive spatial spillover effects may be present. For overall economic
development (in terms of gross regional product per habitant) we find weak positive
growth effects ICT, but these growth effects stem more from innovation than from
production or use of ICT. | nb_NO |
