The Creation and Diffusion of Innovation in Developing Countries : A Systematic Literature Review (2016, neutral): “Moreover other literature reviews of this field do not specifically focus on developing countries (Cohen, 2012), or may concentrate on the broad role of innovation on economic development, with limited evidence from low-income countries (Fagerberg et al., 2010).”
Determinants of young firms’ innovative performance: Empirical evidence from Europe (2017, background): “Furthermore, the literature on the innovative activity of firms has traditionally focused on the role of firm characteristics such as size, cash flow, and diversification especially in large established enterprises (see Cohen, 2010 for an overview).”
Econometric modelling of the regional knowledge production function in Europe (2015, background): “Building upon this initial approach, KPF studies typically include additional formal (and informal) sources of knowledge and other firmlevel characteristics that affect innovative capabilities (Cohen, 2010).”
Why are some regions more innovative than others? The role of small firms in the presence of large labs (2014, methodology): “Several justifications for a positive effect of firm size on innovative activity have been offered in the literature (see Cohen (2010) for a survey).”
R&D Determinants: accounting for the differences between research and development (2014, background): “This result agrees with the theoretical results that large, oligopolistic firms gain relatively more from incremental and safer projects (Rosen, 1991; Cabral, 2003; Cohen, 2010).”
Resources as dual sources of advantage: Implications for valuing entrepreneurial‐firm patents (2013, neutral): “initial reputation endowments. Instead, and consistent with a signaling explanation, Column 4-3 reveals the opposite pattern. As a robustness check, column 4-4 in Table 4 investigates whether omitted sources of heterogeneity among the subgroups bias the estimates. As noted earlier, start-ups founded”
Sectors and the additionality effects of R&D tax credits: A cross-country microeconometric analysis (2017, background): “2 For an exhaustive review, see Cohen (2010).”
Could Machine Learning Be a General Purpose Technology? A Comparison of Emerging Technologies Using Data from Online Job Postings (2022, neutral): “…in developing internal R&D capabilities, engaging in collaboration with academic researchers, forming alliances with cutting edge organizations in the producing industry and with other organizations in applications industries—including competitors (Cassiman and Veugelers 2006; Cohen 2010).”
The effects of proprietary information on corporate disclosure and transparency: Evidence from trade secrets (2018, neutral): “Yet, despite their economic importance, our understanding of the effects and determinants of trade secrecy is limited (e.g., Cohen, 2010).”
The Effect of State Taxes on the Geographical Location of Top Earners: Evidence from Star Scientists (2015, background): “There is also anecdotal evidence on patents being applied for at a relatively early stage of the R&D process (see Wes Cohen 2010).”
Technological and non-technological innovations, performance and propensity to innovate across industries: The case of an emerging economy (2017, background): “Aggregate analysis does not capture the heterogeneity of firms' innovative behaviors as well as the different technological sources of firms' competitiveness (Cohen, 2010, Evangelista & Vezzani, 2010).”
Incumbent Adaptation to Technological Change: The Past, Present, and Future of Research on Heterogeneous Incumbent Response (2018, neutral): “…or the production of better or new products” (Mokyr, 1990: 6).2 Third, we focus on heterogeneity in incumbent response to technological change, not on the incumbent-entrant dynamic nor on technological innovation more generally (see reviews by Ahuja, Lampert, and Tandon (2008) and Cohen (2010)).”
Innovation Policy: Rationales, Lessons and Challenges (2017, background): “For a survey of the empirical evidence on different ways to appropriate the economic benefits of invention and innovation see Cohen (2010).”
The Acquisition and Commercialization of Invention in American Manufacturing: Incidence and Impact (2016, neutral): “The overall rate and quality of innovation would then depend not only upon industry-level factors (e.g., demand, technological opportunity and appropriability) and firm characteristics (e.g., firms’ R&D capabilities, firm size), (cf. Cohen, 2010), but also upon the extramural supply of inventions.”
Innovation policy: What, why, and how (2017, background): “The picture that comes out of the CIS (Fagerberg, 2016 a ), as well as available evidence from elsewhere (Cohen, 2010), shows that firms in most industries are not much concerned about the lack of appropriation mechanisms for the innovations they undertake, probably because the capabilities that…”
Has the Internet Fostered Inclusive Innovation in the Developing World (2016, background): “This is partly because of fixed cost-spreading advantages and agglomeration benefits larger firms can benefit from with regards to R&D (Cohen, 2010).”
