In this paper, we investigate innovation factors and their role in regional economic performance for a sample of 261 EU NUTS 2 regions over the period 2009-2012. In our study, we identify regions with spillover as well as drain effects of innovation factors on economic performance. The spatial analysis indicates that both regional innovativeness and regional development are strongly determined by the region's location and "neighbourhood", with severe consequences for Central and Eastern Europe. We assessed the impact of innovation factors and their spatial counterparts on economic performance using a spatial Durbin panel model. The model is designed to test the existence and strength of the country-effect of innovativeness on the level of regional economic status. This allows for controlling the country-specific socio-economic factors, without reducing the number of degrees of freedom. Our model shows that regions benefit economically from their locational spillovers in terms of social capital. However, the decomposition of R&D expenditures revealed competition effect between internal R&D and external technology acquisition, favouring in-house over outsourced research. (original abstract)

Niniejszy artykuł analizuje rolę czynników innowacyjności w rozwoju regionalnym 261 regionów UE w latach 2009-2012. Analiza przestrzenna wskazała, że regionalna innowacyjność, a dalej rozwój regionalny, zależą nie tylko od położenia geograficznego regionu, ale i jego sąsiadów. Pociąga to za sobą szczególnie poważne konsekwencje dla Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Za pomocą przestrzennego modelu panelowego Durbina ze stałymi efektami grupowymi (dla krajów), oceniliśmy wpływ czynników innowacji i ich przestrzennych odpowiedników na regionalne wyniki ekonomiczne. Pokazał on, że regiony czerpią korzyści ekonomiczne ze swoich efektów lokalizacyjnych pod względem kapitału społecznego, jednak w przypadku wydatków na badania i rozwój ujawniono efekt konkurencji między regionami.
