Related Variety, Unrelated Variety and Technological Breakthroughs: An analysis of US State-Level Patenting (2015, methodology): “It should be stressed that (semi-)related and unrelated variety are not opposites, but orthogonal in their meaning (F RENKEN et al ., 2007).”
Export variety and the economic performance of countries (2008, methodology): “It can further be shown that entropy at the three-digit level equals the sum of unrelated, semirelated and related variety (Theil 1972; Frenken 2007), i.e.: H ¼ H0 þ H' ð6Þ We compute entropy measuring using OECD trade data, which are available for OECD countries at the five-digit level from 1961…”
Related Variety, Trade Linkages, and Regional Growth in Italy (2009, result): “Because of the decomposable nature of the entropy measure differentiating variety at various digit levels, this variable is different from the VARIETY variable (Frenken 2007).”
Labour Market Externalities and Regional Growth in Sweden: The Importance of Labour Mobility between Skill-Related Industries (2014, background): “The decomposable nature of entropy measures differentiates variety at different digit levels, which means that the three indicators based on predefined industry classification do not mirror each other but are based on different flows (FRENKEN, 2007).”
Product Innovation and Educational Diversity in Top and Middle Management Teams (2020, background): “Entropy measures are rooted in information processing and communication theory, which argues that the value of an information set increases with each signal but, for repeated signals, the additional value is subject to diminishing returns (Shannon 1948, Frenken 2007).”
How does labour mobility affect the performance of plants? The importance of relatedness and geographical proximity (2008, methodology): “Following Frenken et al. (2007), we have calculated related variety at the plant level as follows.”
