Industrial clusters have been defined as “a spatial and sectoral concentrations of firms” (Bresnahan et al. 2002). Innovative industrial clusters have been defined either as those clusters which, in a given period of time, have displayed a high level of innovative outputs or, more generally, as those cluster whose sectoral specialisation is in “high-tech industries” defined on the basis of innovative inputs.Aim of this chapter is to discuss the empirical identification and measurement of innovative industrial clusters; to present a theoretical framework for the analysis of clusters development; to analyse the dynamics of a restricted sample of high-tech industries across the US (over the period 19882003)

Abstract
Industrial clusters have been defined as “a spatial and sectoral concentrations of firms” (Bresnahan et al. 2002). Innovative industrial clusters have been defined either as those clusters which, in a given period of time, have displayed a high level of innovative outputs or, more generally, as those cluster whose sectoral specialisation is in “high-tech industries” defined on the basis of innovative inputs.Aim of this chapter is to discuss the empirical identification and measurement of innovative industrial clusters; to present a theoretical framework for the analysis of clusters development; to analyse the dynamics of a restricted sample of high-tech industries across the US (over the period 19882003)
