The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Regional Branching and Key Enabling Technologies: Evidence from European Patent Data (2017, background): “These two properties attribute to GPTs an important, though hitherto unrecognized, function in the technological transition that recombinant innovations drive at the regional level through branching processes (van den Bergh 2008; Frenken, Izquierdo, and Zeppini 2012).”
Environmental and climate innovation: Limitations, policies and prices (2013, background): “Many empirical studies indeed show that energy prices are an important factor of behaviour, of both producers and consumers (van den Bergh, 2008).”
The emergence of new technology-based industries: the case of fuel cells and its technological relatedness to regional knowledge bases (2016, background): “The latter is in line with the idea of recombinant innovation (Fleming, 2001; van den Bergh, 2008) where innovations are defined as combining components in new ways (Schumpeter, 1934).”
Transition failure: Understanding continuity in the automotive industry (2012, background): “However, as van den Burgh has argued [46], such a perspective neglects the scope for recombinant innovation.”
