Much economic research in the last decade has focused on the phenomenon of knowledge spillovers, by which it is meant that the externality that is created when one researcher's efforts facilitate or enhance the success of someone else's efforts. Knowledge spillovers are created in the public sector, when universities and government labs produce basic research results that provide the foundation for applied research in the private sector; they are also created in the private sector when researchers take advantage of knowledge produce by other private agents. These spillovers are key to understanding the process of technological progress, how it contributes to economic growth, and how policy levers can be used effectively to foster growth through innovation. The purpose of this research is to analyze the flows of knowledge spillovers across time, technological sectors, and geographic areas. Relevant data is already being assembled that will permit the testing of models of regional and sectorial growth incorporating knowledge spillovers. This research is important because it will increase our understanding of role of science and technology in fostering economic growth. The results of this project will also be of interest to other scholars and to science policy makers.

过去十年的许多经济研究都集中在知识溢出现象上，这意味着当一名研究人员的努力促进或增强其他人的努力的成功时所产生的外部性。 当大学和政府实验室产出基础研究成果，为私营部门的应用研究奠定基础时，公共部门就会产生知识溢出；当研究人员利用其他私人机构产生的知识时，私营部门也会创建它们。 这些溢出效应对于理解技术进步的过程、技术进步如何促进经济增长以及如何有效利用政策杠杆通过创新促进增长至关重要。 本研究的目的是分析跨时间、技术部门和地理区域的知识溢出流。 相关数据已经在收集中，这将允许测试结合知识溢出的区域和部门增长模型。 这项研究很重要，因为它将加深我们对科学技术在促进经济增长中的作用的理解。 该项目的结果也将引起其他学者和科学政策制定者的兴趣。
