Scientific Mobility and Knowledge Transfer at the Interregional and Intraregional Level (2013, background): “Zucker and colleagues have shown that direct involvement of star scientists was pivotal for the rise and transformation of biotechnology and other high-technology sectors (ZUCKER et al., 1998, 2002; ZUCKER and DARBY, 2006).”
How Much Does Immigration Boost Innovation? (2009, background): “The most closely related paper is by Zucker and Darby (2006), who find for 1981–2004 that a Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) region’s non–university patenting is unaffected by the presence of star scientists, a high wage (which they view as proxying for education) and a high stock of relevant…”
Us Faculty Patenting: Inside and Outside the University (2007, unknown): “…contribution of other mechanisms such as consulting, sponsored research, and licensing has relied on the analysis of proprietary data from surveys or interviews (e.g., Cohen et al., 1998; Mansfield, 1995; Mowery et al., 2001; Thursby et al., 2001; Thursby and Thursby, 2004; Zucker and Darby, 2006).”
Transformation of regional innovation systems : from old legacies to new development paths (2012, background): “The work done by Zucker and her colleagues (Zucker et al., 1998, 2002; Zucker and Darby, 2006) suggests that direct involvement of top researchers in the commercialisation of science was an important factor for the development of biotech in specific places in the United States.”
Evolutionary agglomeration theory: increasing returns, diminishing returns, and the industry life cycle (2011, background): “…through labour mobility, and raises the overall fitness of the agglomeration’s routines (i.e. which is analogous to the biological theory of gene flow, whereby new routines flow between different local firms through labour mobility) (Slatkin, 1987; Zucker and Darby, 2006; Boschma et al., 2009).”
