Exploring the effect of city-level collaboration and knowledge networks on innovation: Evidence from energy conservation field

作者:

Highlights:

• The study investigates the impact of city-level collaboration and knowledge networks on innovation.

• We developed some new indicators of collaboration and knowledge networks that influence innovation.

• We calculated cities’ influence force in inter-city collaboration networks by the weighted PageRank algorithm.

• Knowledge network embeddedness of a city is measured by embedding depth and embedding breadth.

• City-level collaboration and knowledge networks hold distinct structural characteristics and affect innovation in different ways and levels.
