%X the aim of this paper is to estimate the role of territory and the individual firm in innovation in the brazilian industrial economy after the trade-opening period from1998 onwards. this study is based on a database whose micro-data are a merger between the technological innovation survey (pintec) and the yearly industrial survey (pia) of the brazilian institute of geography and statistics (ibge). these micro-data are analyzed by the logit regression method as well as using hierarchical regression models. the main results reveal that firm-level variables and region-level variables are complementary but with the former having more impact on the propensity to innovate than the latter.
