摘要：
The research provides an empirical assessment of the evolution dynamics of a cluster knowledge network and investigates the role of clustered firms' absorptive capacity in shaping the knowledge network in time and space. In the study, emphasis is put on the empirical analysis through the use of data on patent citations, needed to define the structure of knowledge flows into the cluster. Moreover, Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analysis is used to estimate the evolution models of networks. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
