Abstract
With a focus on Europe, the present thesis empirically investigates the geographical patterns

of the patent gender gap as well as the linkage between the patent gender gap and the education

gender gap potentially explaining why women patent less than men. This paper contains a

twofold analysis. Firstly, by a thorough spatial analysis of data covering 267 European regions,

it is shown that, following a pattern similar to global patenting and innovation activity,

women’s patenting is more frequent in cities and their vicinities. Secondly, by developing beta

regression and panel regression models, it is shown that a set of various education-related

gender gaps interdependently affect the severity of the patent gender gap. Being of interest to

innovation agencies and other innovation-policy organisations, the contribution of this study

lies in the analysis of the geographical patterns of women’s patenting as well as the intricate

nature of the causes of a wide, although narrowing, gender gap in patenting and innovation.
