Knowledge Spillovers, Absorptivecapacity, Technology Innovation and Agricultural Network Structure

Abstract:

From the perspective of agricultural cluster to explore network structure, knowledge spillovers, absorptive capacity for technical innovation of the agglomeration. Studies have shown that dense network structure will enhance the knowledge spillovers and promote the actual absorptive capacity of agriculture cluster members, absorptive capacity is conducive to the enhancement of knowledge diffusion, the network structure, knowledge spillovers and absorptive capacity is directly related to agricultural technology innovation.
