Title: The Odd Role Of Proximity In Knowledge Relations - High-Tech In The Netherlands
Abstract: In contrast to findings in other countries, and surprisingly in view of the literature, high  tech economic activity in the Netherlands is  not spread geographically according to either  relevant labour market characteristics or  because of localized agglomeration effects.  Instead, statistical analysis shows that the  Netherlands is an urban field, and that the  knowledge infrastructure is the only variable  to significantly explain high-tech presence  through the Netherlands. By analysing the same  relations for younger firms, we are able to make  a rather strong case about causation.
