32. Global knowledge hubs have two main dimensions 1. Global knowledge base (Hexagon model) 2. Global knowledge dynamics (Network models)
33. Global knowledge base: Industrial agglomeration and knowledge resource base Measured by large national data bases (firm and employee level data)
34. Global knowledge dynamics: Interfirm knowledge linkages (locally, nationally and globally) within and across clusters Measured through large survey to more than 10000 firms
