The local innovation spillovers of listed firms (2021, methodology): “A way to address this problem is to use a shifter of listed firms’ lab activities that is orthogonal with the unobserved local conditions that might affect private firms’ innovation.”
Patents as a measure for eco-innovation (2008, background): “For those interested in conducting patent-related research, a good starting point is the book by Jaffe and Trajtenberg (2002) for a nice treatment on the various ways patent data can be employed.”
Gone but not Forgotten: Knowledge Flows, Labor Mobility, and Enduring Social Relationships (2006, positive): “Following the work of Adam Jaffe, Manuel Trajtenberg, and co-authors (see the collected papers in Jaffe and Trajtenberg, 2002 ), we use patent citation data as an indicator of knowledge flows between inventors.3 We adapt the methodology of one of the seminal papers”
Where does energy R&D come from? Examining crowding out from energy R&D (2012, background): “20 See, for example, Lanjouw and Schankerman (2004) Popp (2006b), and the papers cited in Jaffe and Trajtenberg (2002). examine whether energy patents are more general than other patents assigned to the firms in our sample.”
Institutional complementarity and inventive performance in nano science and technology (2007, methodology): “In this paper we will not review that literature, but a broad survey can be found in Jaffe and Trajtenberg (2002). We will follow a multiple indicators approach as suggested by Hall and Trajtenberg (2004); Henderson, Jaffe and Trajtenberg (1998); Lanjouw and Schankerman (2004).”
Patents and the Performance of Voluntary Standard-Setting Organizations (2008, positive): “Following the literature on patents in economics, we use patent citations as a measure of economic and technological innovation (Jaffe and Trajtenberg, 2002).”
Innovation and SMEs: Misaligned perspectives and goals among entrepreneurs, academics, and policy makers (2008, background): “Indicators based on outputs are, for example, number of patents (Deyle and Grupp, 2005; Jaffe and Trajtenberg, 2002), information disseminated in literature (Sorenson and Fleming, 2004), the absolute amount of sales of innovative products (Negassi, 2004), the number of innovations (Brower and Kleink”
Spreading the Word: Geography, Policy, and Knowledge Spillovers (2013, background): “[18] Ja¤e, Adam and Manuel Trajtenberg (2002), Patents, Citations and Innovations: A Window on the Knowledge Economy (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press)”
Commercializing academic research: the quality of faculty patenting (2011, background): “Previous U.S. studies on patent citations paid particular attention to “self-citations”, i.e. cited and citing patents are owned by the same entity (e.g. Jaffe et al., 1993, Jaffe and Trajtenberg, 2002).”
