• Who invests in renewable electricity production? Empirical evidence and suggestions for further research (2013, unknown): “Large investments in renewable electricity production (RES-E) are needed in order to reach the targets set in the EU renewables directive and to transform the European and global energy systems into a low-carbon economy (Jacobsson and Bergek, 2011; Masini and Menichetti, 2012).”
• Understanding the Innovation Impacts of Public Procurement (2010, unknown): “The public sector can act as an “experimental user” in the sense of Malerba et al. (2007), where a cheaper, proven option does not meet its requirements, and may be willing to assume the risk inherent in the purchase of a new product, even if it is only at the prototype stage or earlier.”
• Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, unknown): “65 And in fact it happens that the effective entry of technologies based on a new paradigm often requires also the entry of new firms (a formalization of this idea is in Malerba et al., 2007).”
• The Place of Path Dependence in an Evolutionary Perspective on the Economic Landscape (2010, unknown): “]New firms need to identify a fringe market that is not well served by old technologies, products or services, in order to keep themselves alive long enough to develop their own new technologies, products or services (Malerba et al, 2007).”
• Incentives and uncertainty: an empirical analysis of the impact of demand on innovation (2008, unknown): “Similarly Malerba et al. (2007) and Adner and Levinthal (2001) focused on the role of heterogeneity in customers’ preferences as a source of innovation.”
• Niches in evolutionary theories of technical change (2007, unknown): “Levinthal, 1998; Nelson and Winter, 1982; Saviotti, 1996; Ziman, 2000; Malerba et al, 2003 ), history of technology (e.g.”
• Are Exporters More Likely to Introduce Product Innovations (2012, unknown): “This last stream of literature stresses the interaction with buyers as a source of information which raises the innovative effort of the firm, and it underlines either the role of ‘sophisticated’ customers who can provide feedbacks to producers or the role of taste heterogeneity (Malerba et al., 200”
• Demand-side vs. supply-side technology policies: Hidden treatment and new empirical evidence on the policy mix (2015, unknown): “Slow, but over time consistent work about the demand-side approach (Von Hippel, 1988; Rogers, 1995; Malerba et al., 2007; Fontana and Guerzoni, 2008) gave a new twist to this literature stream.”
