Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “(iii) Differential degrees of innovativeness are generally persistent over time and often reveal a small ‘core’ of systematic innovators (cf. Bottazzi et al., 2001; Cefis, 2003; Cefis and Orsenigo, 2001; Malerba and Orsenigo,1996a; among others).”
Determinants of product innovation in small firms: A Comparison Across Industries (2004, result): “This result is in line with Cefis and Orsenigo (2001) who studied the persistence of innovative activities across industries and also found major differences.”
Inside Innovation Persistence: New Evidence From Italian Micro-Data (2012, positive): “Cefis and Orsenigo (2001) apply a transition probability matrix to analyze the persistence of innovative activity in the years 1978-1993 for samples of some 1400 manufacturing firms in five European countries, and find weak persistence of patenting activity.”
Technological regimes and sectoral differences in productivity growth (2007, background): “The importance of cumulativeness at the firm level has recently been investigated by Malerba and Orsenigo (2000), Cefis and Orsenigo (2001) and Fai and Von Tunzelmann (2001).”
Persistence of innovation: stylised facts and panel data evidence (2009, background): “Cefis and Orsenigo (2001) extended this kind of analysis to a firm–level cross–country comparison over time for the original six countries.”
Internal and external factors in innovation persistence (2013, methodology): “…by studying various factors, such as technological specialisation (Malerba, Orsenigo, and Petretto 1997), cross-country and cross-sector evolution (Cefis and Orsenigo 2001; Raymond et al. 2010; Clausen et al. 2012), the empirical properties of the distribution of persistence (Cefis 2003) and the…”
High-growth firms and innovation: an empirical analysis for Spanish firms (2014, background): “Hence, an in-depth study into the relationship between innovation activity and firm growth needs to be made (Cefis and Orsenigo, 2001; Coad and Rao, 2010).”
Technological discontinuities and the challenge for incumbent firms: destruction, disruption or creative accumulation? (2013, background): “sustained innovative performance is generated and has to be supported by systematic and continuous processes of accumulation of resources and competencies over time” (Cefis and Orsenigo, 2001).”
Innovation and firm growth in high-tech sectors: A quantile regression approach (2008, background): “Innovation is uncertain and generally lacks persistence (Geroski, 2000; Cefis and Orsenigo, 2001); similarly, firm growth is highly idiosyncratic and lacks persistence – inspite of this circumstantial evidence, however, we should resist the temptation to overplay the relationship…”
