Employment effects of business dynamics: Mice, Gazelles and Elephants (2007, background): “…sector of the economy, with the exclusion of the much larger and more dynamic service sector (Davis, Haltiwanger and Schuh, 1996b, Audretsch 1995, Klepper 2002).2 More recently, as new and larger data sets have become available, we are now starting to see a much richer examination of the economy…”
The birth of capabilities: market entry and the importance of pre-history (2002, background): “Nevertheless, in a detailed study of the automotive industry, Klepper (2002) found that the proportion of entrants that were spin-offs increased substantially over time: spin-offs accounted for 6% of all entrants in the earliest period (1895–1904), rising to 14.5% in the second period (1905–1909)…”
“What’s Past Is Prologue” (2015, background): “In a number of studies, Klepper and colleagues have investigated the influence of the prior knowledge and capabilities endowed to spin-offs by their parent firms (Klepper, 2002; Klepper & Simons, 2000; Roberts, Klepper, & Hayward, 2011).”

Microfoundations of Routines and Capabilities: Individuals, Processes, and Structure (2012, background): “…shows that knowledge, experience, learning processes, and a firm’s history underlie a firm’s capabilities and practices (e.g., Argote and Darr, 2000; Darr, Argote and Epple, 1995; Klepper, 2002; Klepper and Simons, 2000; Nelson and Winter, 1982; Pisano, 2000; Rerup and Feldman, 2011; Winter, 2000).”

Myopia, knowledge development and cluster evolution (2007, background): “…(Porter, 1990) the spin-offs help create stable clusters with firms that through generations that can come to dominate an industry nationally or even across the globe (Klepper, 2002; Dahl et al., 2003, 2005; Buenstorf and Klepper, 2005; Thompson and Klepper, 2005; Boschma and Wenting, 2007).”

Covenants Not to Compete, Labor Mobility, and Industry Dynamics (2008, neutral): “…performance, and the …rms that generate spin-outs also dominate other incumbents (See Franco and Filson (2006), Agarwal, Echambadi, Franco and Sarkar (2004) for evidence from the hard drive industry, Klepper and Sleeper (2005), laser printer industry, and Klepper (2002), the automobile industry).”
