Agglomeration and Innovation (2014, unknown): “Sturgeon (2002) stresses that modular production allows colocated firms to use the benefits of spatial proximity to establish and manage global-scale production networks.”
The Paradox of Publicity (2014, background): “dynamics for winners with those of a control group of shortlisted non-winners that is most similar to the winners in terms of perceived quality prior to the announcement of the short list (Azoulay et al. 2013; Malmendier and Tate 2009; Singh and Agrawal 2011).”
How does social software change knowledge management? Toward a strategic research agenda (2012, background): “Finally, many authors have suggested that tacit knowledge is a source of competitive advantage (Barney, 1991; Grant, 1996; Huang et al., 2011; Nelson and Winter, 1982; Singh and Agrawal, 2011).”
The Rate and Direction of Invention in the British Industrial Revolution: Incentives and Institutions (2011, unknown): “they rely on first mover advantage, secrecy, and patents to capture the competitive advantage. Graham et al. (2009), examining entrepreneurs in the high-technology sector using the 2008 Berkeley Patent Survey, show at the only sector in which entrepreneurs find patents more important than first move”
Public Governance, Corporate Governance, and Firm Innovation: An Examination of State-Owned Enterprises (2019, unknown): “According to Singh and Agrawal (2011), this is a more stringent specification.”
The local innovation spillovers of listed firms (2021, background): “By switching employers locally, inventors create regional networks of collaboration through which knowledge can be transferred (Almeida and Kogut, 1999; Breschi and Lissoni, 2009; Singh and Agrawal, 2011).”
Knowledge Maturity and the Scientific Value of Innovations (2017, methodology): “Eleventh, we ran alternative models using clustering with robust standard errors to account for the potential nonindependence of observations pertaining to the same cited patent and to different patents involving the same inventor (Singh & Agrawal, 2011).”
Knowledge flows and the absorptive capacity of regions (2015, background): “Theoretical and empirical evidence in support of a relation between high-skilled workers mobility and knowledge diffusion is extensive (Almeida and Kogut, 1999; Arrow, 1962; Boschma et al., 2009; Rosenkopf and Almeida, 2003; Singh and Agrawal, 2011; Stephan, 1996).”
Employee Mobility and Organizational Outcomes (2016, background): “For example, Singh and Agrawal (2011) examine the pattern of patent citations to a newly hired inventor’s prior inventions and find that while firms more than double their ex post citations to these inventions, the vast majority of additional citations were actually self-citations by the inventor…”
The innovative performance of firms in heterogeneous environments: the interplay between external knowledge and internal absorptive capacities (2018, background): “…a way to achieve better innovative outcomes (e.g. Rao and Drazin, 2002;, Song et al., 2003; Rosenkopf and Almeida, 2003; Corredoira and Rosenkopf, 2010; Palomeras and Melero, 2010; Singh and Agrawal, 2011; Mawdsley and Somaya, 2016), while overlooking the complementary role of geographic mobility.”
Online Reputation Management: Estimating the Impact of Management Responses on Consumer Reviews (2015, background): “A key implication of the assumption underlying cross-platform DD identification is that TripAdvisor and Expedia users do not differentially value certain hotel improvements that happen to coincide with the adoption of management responses.”
The influence of socio-cultural environments on the performance of nascent entrepreneurs: Community culture, motivation, self-efficacy and start-up success (2012, methodology): “To avoid biases we use coarsened exact matching on education and labor market experience, to make the sample coherent (Singh and Agrawal, 2011; Marx, Singh and Fleming, 2011).”

Econometric modelling of the regional knowledge production function in Europe (2015, background): “On the other, market-mediated exchange mechanisms (e.g. linked to spatially segmented labor markets for scientists and other knowledge workers) are also facilitated by geographical proximity (Zucker et al., 1998; Singh and Agrawal, 2011).”
