and technological neighborhoods enjoy additional market value as a result of higher scientific labor mobility, while they suffer from higher mobility whenever external knowledge is limited. Specifically, a percentage point increase in the mobility rate (one additional job change for each 100 scientists) increases

Collaborative research has grown significantly in recent times and has come to be considered one of the main features of contemporary science. It is reflected in the growth of co-authored papers (Hicks and Katz 1996), in the division of scientific labor required by large experimental equipment

D programme. Research at ISS is fundamental in the sense of laying a scientific basis for the formulation of appropriate development policies. The academic work of ISS is disseminated in the form of books, journal articles, teaching texts, monographs and working papers. The Working Paper series provides a
