Abstract: We examine the heterogeneous determinants of knowledge production across 5 manufacturing sectors of the US metropolitan counties. In addition to the traditional knowledge inputs, we capture knowledge spillovers based on an innovative matrix of patent creation-patent citation separating intra-regional from short- and long- distance interregional effects. Furthermore, we identify the singular role of MAR vs. Jacobian externalities. Our results show that an aggregated approach would mask the variation in the marginal effects detected across sectors and highlight the key role of specialization and of university R&D in innovation production. Intersectoral and long- distance interregional spillovers, usually ignored in the literature, display a significant impact too.
