Research, Science, and Technology Parks: Vehicles for Technology Transfer

Albert Link and John Scott

No 11-22, UNCG Economics Working Papers from University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Department of Economics

Abstract: Research, science, and technology parks are increasingly seen as a means to create dynamic clusters that accelerate economic growth and international competitiveness through the transfer of knowledge and technology. As such, it is important to understand the academic literature related to research, science, and technology parks (hereafter R-S-T parks, or simply parks) because that literature, albeit embryonic, has had and will continue to frame public policies related to park formations and growth. The purpose of this chapter is thus to overview the extant academic literature on knowledge and technology transfer to and from parks, and to discuss its importance to public policy issues.
