Can differences in innovativeness between European cross-border regions be explained by factors impeding cross-border business interaction?

Business interaction is important for innovation performance but may be challenging in cross-border regions. The objective of this research was to investigate the relation between factors that define cross-border business interaction and innovativeness. From the cross-border regional innovation syst...
