Abstract
[Abstract] This is the first study that uses multilevel modelling to analyse
regional influence on the decision to invest in innovation
activities of firms in a single developing country, Ecuador.
Our results indicate that the decision to invest in R&D and in
other innovation activities are conditioned by the region in
which the firm is located. Regional loan volume, orientation
towards knowledge exploitation and intra-regional-sectorial
R&D spillovers are positively associated with both types of
innovation activities, while regional levels of co-operation and
inter-regional R&D spillovers are only positively associated
with the probability of investing in other innovation activities
