Title: European Integration and Knowledge Flows across European Regions
Abstract:Using data on inventor citations and inventor collaborations, this article analyses changes in geographical 
patterns of knowledge flows between European regions during the period 1981-2000.
It shows that inventor collaborations become less geographically localized, while inventor citations become more 
localized. The European integration process has a significant effect on reducing barriers to knowledge flows between 
new and old EU members. For inventor citations, this effect relates only to the EU enlargement of 1995 and is confined 
to knowledge flows from Austria, Finland and Sweden to old EU members.
