Scientific labour markets, networks and regional innovation systems

Résumé

While quality of the labour force in a locality is the single most important component of local competitiveness (SIMMIE et al 2002), the RIS literature has relatively neglected processes of labour force development. This paper addresses two questions (i) what is the role of labour markets in the making of regions as innovative systems and (ii) what is the role of labour markets in Regional Innovation Systems. The labour market and specifically the networks that exist between highly skilled workers are positioned at the centre of the analysis, using evidence from the UK high technology economies of Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire.
