The authors analyze the relationship between knowledge accessibility and regional growth. The knowledge resource used in the model is R&D conducted at universities and in companies. The findings in the paper provide support for the theories that emphasize the role of knowledge for growth. However, the paper demonstrates that spatial proximity to
knowledge resources is important to materialize the positive effect of such resources.
