Title: Knowledge Structure and Regional Economic Growth: The French case
Abstract: This paper elaborates a view on knowledge as the result of a combinatorial search
activity, so as to investigate its effects on economic growth at the regional level. Empirical
estimations corroborate the hypothesis that knowledge coherence and variety, besides the
traditional measure of knowledge stock, matter in shaping regional economic performances.
Important policy implications stem from the analysis, in that regional innovation strategies, in order
to trigger economic performances, should be carefully coordinated so as to foster exploration
strategies, but taking into full account the technological competences accumulated in the course of
time
