What Is the Relationship between Technological Innovation and Energy Consumption? Empirical Analysis Based on Provincial Panel Data from China (2018, methodology): “Acs [21] and Goto [22] used patents to measure innovations from regions and firms.”
An innovation-focused roadmap for a sustainable global photovoltaic industry (2014, background): “There are three common proxies to measure innovation: R&D spending, literature counts, and patents (Acs et al., 2002).”
The emergence of new technology-based sectors in European regions: A proximity-based analysis of nanotechnology (2014, background): “First, recent literature has shown that they are reliable indicators as far as regional technological activities are concerned (Acs et al., 2002).”
The effect of the triple helix system and habitat on regional entrepreneurship: Empirical evidence from the U.S. (2012, unknown): “Previous studies have also suggested the positive effect of university R&D on firm creation (Acs et al., 2002; Goldstein and Drucker, 2006; Kirchhoff et al., 2007; Woodward et al., 2006).”
The Geography of Complex Knowledge (2017, background): “Since Acs, Anselin, and Varga (2002) established that patents provide reliable proxies for innovation at the regional level, a large body of work has emerged on the regional knowledge production function (see Audretsch and Feldman 2004).”
Beyond inducement in climate change: Does environmental performance spur environmental technologies? (2013, unknown): “Such studies show that patents represent very reliable proxies for knowledge and innovation, as compared with analyses drawing upon surveys directly investigating the dynamics of process and product innovation (Acs et al., 2002).”
Environmental performance, innovation and spillovers. Evidence from a regional NAMEA (2013, unknown): “Nonetheless, previous studies at regional level have highlighted the helpfulness of patent applications as ameasure of the production of innovation (Acs et al., 2002).”
Regional systems of entrepreneurship: the nexus of human capital, knowledge and new firm formation (2013, methodology): “…regions or geography, not only because both knowledge production and entrepreneurial activity have a geographic dimension (Feldman, 1994; Acs and Armington, 2006), but because knowledge spillovers are geographically bounded (Jaffe et al., 1993; Anselin et al., 1997; Acs et al., 2002a; Peri, 2005).”
How does industry specialization affect the efficiency of regional innovation systems? (2010, methodology): “However, using patents as an indicator of new knowledge has some shortcomings (Brouwer and Kleinknecht 1996; Acs et al. 2002; Griliches 1990).”
Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Industrial Development: Geography and the Creative Field Revisited (2006, background): “Empirical confirmation of the powers of spatial agglomeration in regard to knowledge-generation can be found in the empirical work of Acs et al. (2002), Jaffe et al. (1993), OhUllacháin (1999) and others on the geography of patenting.”
