摘要：This paper investigates how universities affect formation of new knowledge intensive ventures in conditions of post-socialistic country of Eastern Europe,depending on character of university spill-overs.Using tools of spatial econometry,we investigate how graduates rollout by universities and knowledge spill-overs on basis of interpersonal relationships between entrepreneurs and senior academic researchers determines emergence of knowledge intensive ventures in Slovakia,while we distinguish between total number of knowledge intensive firms (KIF),knowledge intensive manufacturing ventures (KIM),knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) and knowledge intensive services (KIS).Our estimates of spatial Durbin models indicate that even in conditions of country that lacks universities carrying out top-excellent research,university spill-overs affects formation of knowledge intensive ventures,but only in case of services,while spill-overs in form of graduate rollout are significantly localized.
