In this paper, we investigate innovation factors and their role in regional economic performance for a sample of 261 EU NUTS 2 regions over the period 2009–2012. In our study, we identify regions with spillover as well as drain effects of innovation factors on economic performance. The spatial analysis indicates that both regional in‐ novativeness and regional development are strongly determined by the region’s loca‐ tion and “neighbourhood”, with severe consequences for Central and Eastern Europe. We assessed the impact of innovation factors and their spatial counterparts on econom‐ ic performance using a spatial Durbin panel model. The model is designed to test the existence and strength of the country‐effect of innovativeness on the level of regional economic status. This allows for controlling the country‐specific socio‐economic factors, without reducing the number of degrees of freedom. Our model shows that regions ben‐ efit economically from their locational spillovers in terms of social capital. However, the decomposition of R&D expenditures revealed competition effect between internal R&D and external technology acquisition, favouring in‐house over outsourced research.
