Do Stronger Intellectual Property Rights Increase Innovation (2015, background): “5 The first problem with patents is that innovation is an incremental process, taking place through both “tacit” and “explicit” knowledge accumulation; measures of patents granted capture only the explicit side of technological innovation (Nelson, 2005).”
Explicating Dynamic Capabilities: The Nature and Microfoundations of (Sustainable) Enterprise Performance (2007, background): “This evidence hints at the value to be created from figuring out heuristics and protocols likely to aid decisions involving interrelated investments. Evans, Hagiu, and Schmalensee (2006) recognize multisided market interdependencies which likewise require a systems perspective.”
A coevolutionary framework for analysing a transition to a sustainable low carbon economy (2011, background): “The above examples have taken the form of appreciative theory (Nelson, 2005).”
Science, Technology and Innovation for Economic Growth: Linking Policy Research and Practice in "STIG Systems" (2008, unknown): “…programs to affect the production, distribution and utilization of scientific and technical knowledge and information Some researchers (e.g. Nelson, 2005) have expressed serious intellectual doubts on this score, arguing that the logic of competitive general equilibrium analysis rests upon…”
Reflections on "Profiting from Innovation" (2006, background): “The role of institutions has been highlighted by writers like North (1990) and Nelson (2005).”
Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “More specifically on the contemporary patterns of codification of manufacturing technologies based on ICT instrumentation and computing, see Becker, Lazaric and Nelson (2005); Balconi (2002), Lazaric and Lorenz (2003) among others.”
The Political Economy of Capabilities Accumulation: the Past and Future of Policies for Industrial Development. A Preface (2008, background): “…organizational knowledge has been a crucial deus ex machina of early industrialization almost three centuries ago, and also of subsequent episodes of development (Landes, 1969; and Cipolla, 1965; cf. also Landes, 1999; Freeman, 1982; Reinert, 2007; Rosenberg, 1976; Mokyr, 1990; and Nelson, 2005).”
Comparing theories of institutional change (2009, background): “Nelson (2005), like Ayres, views changes in physical technology as the main driver of institutional change, but he allows for feedback from institutions to technology,16 so that ‘it probably is useful to think of physical and social technologies [i.e. institutions] as coevolving’ (ibid.”
Do international acquisitions by emerging-economy firms create shareholder value? The case of Indian firms (2010, background): “It permits rapid internalization of complementary, tacit, intangible know-how that is both difficult to trade through market transactions and takes time to develop internally, and leads to strategic renewal (Nelson, 2005).”
Branching points for transition pathways : assessing responses of actors to challenges on pathways to a low carbon future (2013, background): “The systemic nature of technological evolution extends not only to the inter-relations between technologies, but also to the institutions, business strategies and social practices with which technologies coevolve (Nelson, 2005; Beinhocker, 2005; Arthur, 2009; Foxon, 2011).”
