Heterogeneity of Patenting Activity and Its Implications for Scientific Research (2007, background): “Given that scientists heavily depend on their academic reputation (Merton, 1968) a complete “crowding out” of scientific activities by commercialization endeavours is considered as highly unlikely (Azoulay et al., 2006, Thursby et al., 2005, Scotchmer, 2004).”
Has the Bayh-Dole act compromised basic research? (2011, methodology): “Using these research characterizations, Thursby et al. (2007) simulated faculty research choices over their life cycle with and without the possibility of licensing.”
Industry Funding of University Research and Scientific Productivity (2011, unknown): “Van Looy et al. (2004) find no evidence of a skewing problem at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium.”
The Impact of Academic Patenting on the Rate, Quality and Direction of (Public) Research Output (2009, background): “Seen in this light, the relevant question about university patenting becomes, to what degree does the availability of the option to patent alter the incentive or ability of scientists to contribute public (i.e., non-excludable) advances to the scientific literature?”
Patent and Publication Activities of German Professors: An Empirical Assessment of Their Co-Activity (2007, background): “…financial support under the grant KUL – OT/04/07A. Research Evaluation December 2007 2 A complete crowding-out of publication outcome is considered unlikely because academic scientists heavily depend on their scientific reputation (Azoulay et al, 2006; Thursby et al, 2005; Scotchmer, 2004).”
The effects of cognitive distance in university-industry collaborations: some evidence from Italian universities (2013, background): “General models (Thursby et al. 2007) and empirical work (Thursby and Thursby 2007) investigate how researchers should allocate their time among different activities in the course of their careers, but more work is needed on linking individual behaviours to the structure of incentives at the institut”
Inside or Outside the IP-System? Business Creation in Academia (2010, background): “…that tends to be focused on very specific types of commercial activities by academics, the theoretical literature explains entrepreneurial activities by academics in ways not predicated on university intellectual property rights (Aghion et al., 2008; Lacetera, 2009; Thursby et al., 2007).”
