In an attempt to shed new light on the role of geography in technology diffusion among industrial sectors, this paper studies how spatial effects guide the diffusion of technology in the European Union. The focus of this paper is on the measurement of the productivity of new technology among different industrial sectors. Actually, it provides a systematic analysis of the relationship between universities and firms in automobile, chemical, electro-technology and manufacturing industries that generate economically useful new technological knowledge. Empirical results suggest that strengthening R &qmp; D activities of universities and industries boosts regional economies in terms of spatial heterogeneity.
