Measuring Technological Innovation over the Long Run (2018, unknown): “It includes not only the Second Industrial Revolution (1870–1910), but also the 1920–1940 period, which according to Field (2003) contained major technological breakthroughs, this advantage provides us an unique opportunity to expand 6See, for instance, patents 4,800,488; 4,823,338; 4,827,411;…”
Does Innovation Cause Stock Market Runups? Evidence from the Great Crash (2008, background): “Firms in this study accumulated substantial post-crash quantities of influential patents, which had a real effect on productivity (Field 2003).”
Heterogeneous resources and the financial crisis: implications of strategic management theory (2009, unknown): “Cole and Ohanian (2009) also argue that that the fruits of the 1930s – the most technologically progressive decade of the 20th century (Field, 2003) – were delayed or reduced due to the New Deal-related policies that ‘suppress[ed] competition, and set prices and wages in many sectors well above thei”

Technological Innovation, Resource Allocation, and Growth (2012, unknown): “First, our measures suggest high values of technological innovation in the 1930s, consistent with the views expressed in Field (2003). When we dissect our measures we find that firms that primarily contribute to technological developments during the thirties are in the automobiles (such as General M”
Technological Innovation, Resource Allocation and Growth (2017, background): “Our aggregate innovation indices capture known periods of high technological progress as well as industries participating in these waves (Field, 2003; Alexopoulos and Cohen, 2009, 2011; Alexopoulos, 2011).”
Was Electricity a General Purpose Technology? Evidence from Historical Patent Citations (2004, background): “Alexander Field (2003) conjectures that a “larder stock” of 1920’s innovations may have accelerated productivity growth during the 1930’s, a period he describes as “the most technologically progressive decade of the [20th] century.””
