Infraestrutura de transporte, Colaborações U-I, Desenvolvimento regional, BrasilResumo
É amplamente conhecido que as universidades têm desempenhado um papel importante na promoção da inovação em nível empresarial. Uma grande parte da literatura identificou que as repercussões do conhecimento são limitadas no espaço. Assim, uma infraestrutura de transporte adequada pode ampliar as possíveis repercussões do conhecimento ao conectar locais e promover o aprendizado e a difusão do conhecimento. Neste trabalho, examinamos o impacto de um aumento no fornecimento de estradas sobre as ligações U-I no Brasil usando modelos econométricos de variáveis instrumentais para levar em conta possíveis questões de endogeneidade. Nossos resultados sugerem que as rodovias afetam positivamente as interações U-I. Esses resultados permanecem estáveis em várias especificações. Mostramos que os efeitos das rodovias sobre as colaborações locais de U-I são maiores para empresas e grupos de pesquisa de pequeno porte, grupos de pesquisa de maior qualidade e microrregiões líderes. Além disso, encontramos um efeito espacial negativo das rodovias sobre as ligações U-I, sugerindo, assim, que a rede rodoviária pode estar concentrando espacialmente os fluxos de conhecimento no Brasil.
