Environmental and Technology Policies for Climate Mitigation (2008, background): “Porter and Stern [43] use a patent-based measure of the knowledge stock, finding that a doubling of the patent stock leads to about a 10% increase in total factor productivity.”
The Contribution of Skilled Immigration and International Graduate Students to U.S. Innovation (2005, methodology): “innovation, we modify the "national ideas production function" that is widely used in innovation studies (Stern, et al, 2000; Porter and Stern, 2000).”
Catching up or standing still? (2004, methodology): “M conomic growth that model the ideas-generating sector (innovation-generating sector) of the economy as an endogenous determinant of economic growth (Romer, 1990; Jones, 1995; Porter and Stern, 2000).”
The Determinants of National Innovative Capacity (2002, background): “While the underlying technology was due to the (somewhat accidental) discoveries of the British chemist Perkins, the sector quickly developed and became a major exporting area for Germany.”
Scale effects in endogenous growth theory: an error of aggregation not specification (2006, background): “Porter and Stern (2000) use international patent data to construct both global and country-level knowledge production functions to estimate φ, thereby controlling for the presence of international spillovers as emphasized by Klenow and Rodríguez-Clare (2005).”
National innovative capacity in East Asia (2005, background): “It would be an interesting exercise to take the research further and vary the parameters, again following Porter and Stern (2000).”
Total factor productivity and the role of entrepreneurship (2016, unknown): “In contrast to Furman et al. (2002) and Porter and Stern (2000), we use a depreciation rate of 15% to take into account the obsolescence of knowledge.”
Impact of temperature and rainfall on rice production in Punjab, Pakistan (2020, methodology): “Further studies related to the impact of temperature and rainfall on crop production using the input–output function included (Echevarria 1997; Porter and Stern 2000; Xepapadeas et al.”
