We find that the production of patents and scientific publications has spread geographically to several countries, and has not kept within the traditional knowledge producing economies (Western Europe, Japan and the U.S.). We observe that part of this partial geographical spread of knowledge activities is due to the setting up of Global Innovation Networks, first toward more traditional innovative countries, and then towards emerging economies too. Yet, despite the increasing worldwide spread of knowledge production, we do not see the same spreading process within countries, and even we see some increased concentration in some of them. This may have, of course, important distributional consequences within countries. Moreover, these selected areas also concentrate a large and increasing connectivity, within their own country to other hotspots, and across countries through Global Innovation Networks. 000040558 542__ $$fLicense: CC BY 3.0 IGO 000040558 650_0 $$aInnovation 000040558 651_0 $$aEconomics 000040558 7002_ $$aWorld Intellectual Property Organization 000040558 830_0 $$aEconomics Working Papers. 000040558 8564_ $$91372f7e7-3f60-4df6-8e8e-b68d9ff2b4ee$$s3552147$$uhttps://tind.wipo.int/record/40558/files/wipo_pub_econstat_wp_58.pdf 000040558 901__ $$aWIPO/PUB/ECONSTAT/WP/58 000040558 902__ $$a40558_en 000040558 903__ $$aEconomics working papers 000040558 904__ $$aWorking paper 000040558 909CO $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:40558$$pWIPOPUB 000040558 980__ $$aWIPOPUB$$aERWP
