- Optimal Diversity: Increasing Returns versus Recombinant Innovation (2008, methodology): “This has been applied, among others, to the steam engine to analyze which possible designs have emerged in reality and which ones (including hypothetical ones) (could) have performed well (Frenken and Nuvolari 2004).”
- Up-scaling, formative phases, and learning in the historical diffusion of energy technologies (2012, background): “Changes in unit scale become part of what Frenken and Nuvolari (2004) describe in evolutionary terms as a ‘‘growing variety and differentiation into distinct design species’’ (p. 420).”
- Properties of knowledge base and firm survival: Evidence from a sample of French manufacturing firms ☆ (2013, background): “Differently from common measures of variety and concentration, the information entropy has some interesting properties (Frenken and Nuvolari, 2004).”
- Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “In fact, when outputs are physical artifacts, it is useful to study their dynamics in the design space (Bradshaw, 1992; and Frenken and Nuvolari, 2004), defined by the properties of the components which make up the final output and their combinations.”
- Complexity Thinking and Evolutionary Economic Geography (2007, background): “, 1997; Metcalfe and Foster, 2004; Ramlogan and Metcalfe, 2006), but also economic and social history (Frenken and Nuvolari, 2004; McGlade, 2006), technological innovation (Frenken, 2000), archaeology (Bentley and Maschner, 2001, 2003), political theory (Rosenau, 1995), organizational and management”
