Figures & data
Figure 1. Network representation of a regional economy. Network nodes (depicted as circles) represents subsets of regional economic activities, as associated with specific economic sectors. Network connections (depicted as arrows) represent potential intersectoral knowledge flows (for each arrow, the receiving node is the one closer to the arrowhead). In this directed network, the bottom-right ‘striped’ node contributes to the network's knowledge flows more than the bottom-center ‘chequered’ node.
Figure 2. Imports and exports of all Norwegian firms exporting two types of silicon products in 2011.
Note: The two product codes are silicon with a content of at least 99.99% weight silicon (product nr. 28046100) and silicon, with a content of less than 99.99% weight silicon (product nr. 28046900).
Table 1. Recurrent import categories (4-digit CPA) among firm-year observations of silicon exporters (left column) and corresponding NACE industrial sectors (right column).
Table 2. Labour market areas in Norway where at least two industrial sectors are present which might, in the future, provide inputs for the photovoltaic industry.
