Abstract
Industrial clusters have been defined as “a spatial and sectoral concentrations of firms” (Bresnahan et al. 2002). Innovative industrial clusters have been defined either as those clusters which, in a given period of time, have displayed a high level of innovative outputs or, more generally, as those cluster whose sectoral specialisation is in “high-tech industries” defined on the basis of innovative inputs.Aim of this chapter is to discuss the empirical identification and measurement of innovative industrial clusters; to present a theoretical framework for the analysis of clusters development; to analyse the dynamics of a restricted sample of high-tech industries across the US (over the period 19882003)
