Funding sectors that are central to the economy are expected to produce more or greater spillovers than if more peripheral sectors were funded. If the funding body is a national government, it is desirable that spillovers remain primarily in the domestic economy rather than targeting globally central sectors and risk subsidizing a foreign economy. In this paper, we develop a new method of measuring centrality in the complex network of patent citations that can take national borders into account, where the importance of domestic citations relative to foreign citations can be controlled by a free parameter. We find empirically that while some patent classes are of high importance both in the global and the domestic economy, there often exist patent classes in individual countries that are more central nationally than in global economy. date: 2013-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 546-552 event_title: Signal-Image Technology Internet-Based Systems (SITIS), 2013 International Conference on id_number: 10.1109/SITIS.2013.91 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4799-3211-5 book_title: International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems (SITIS) official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6727241&isnumber=6727149 citation: Morrison, Greg and Giovanis, Eleftherios and Pammolli, Fabio and Riccaboni, Massimo Border sensitive centralities in patent citation networks using asymmetric random walks.
