• Entrepreneurship, Evolution and Geography (2009, background): “The latter often follows the emergence of a cluster, not the other way around (Feldman and Francis 2003; Orsenigo 2006).”
• Determinants and consequences of university spinoff activity: a conceptual framework (2008, background): “Feldman and Francis (2003) argue that even though universities seem to be necessary for the development of biotech concentration, the existence of a high ‘knowledge base’ alone might not be enough.”
• Cultivating Research Universities and Industrial Linkages in China: The Case of Shanghai (2007, methodology): “The passage of the Stevenson–Wydler Technology Innovation Act and the Bayh–Dole University and Small Business Patent Act (both in 1980) has ushered in a new era in the transfer of publicly funded intellectual property (IP) to industrial firms (Feldman & Francis, 2003).”
• Industrial Dynamics and Clusters: A Survey (2015, background): “…over space is, on the one hand, largely a chance event, but following Louis Pasteur’s saying, ‘chance favours the prepared mind’, regions with an industry and knowledge structure that is related to the emerging industry have higher chances to develop such new industries (FELDMAN and FRANCIS, 2003).”
• Are cities the font of innovation? A critical review of the literature on cities and innovation (2012, unknown): “…innovation processes, whether at the scale of the neighbourhood (e.g. Currid, 2007; Florida, 2009; Hutton, 20092), the industrial cluster (e.g. Feldman & Francis, 2003; Potter & Miranda, 2009; Rantisi, 2011; Wolfe, 2009), the metropolitan area (e.g. Duranton, 2011; Duranton & Puga,…”
• The adaptive life cycle of entrepreneurial ecosystems: the biotechnology cluster (2017, methodology): “…cluster For the National Capital Region biotech cluster, the disturbance that triggered the release and reorganization arrived in the 1980s in the form of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act and the Bayh-Dole University and Small Business Patent Act (Feldman and Francis 2003).”
• Technology transfer offices and academic spin-off creation: the case of Italy (2013, background): “Feldman and Francis (2003) argued that the weak entrepreneurial infrastructure of a region significantly hampers the promotion of academic entrepreneurship.”
• Innovation Policy for Grand Challenges. An Economic Geography Perspective (2015, background): “In the context of innovation, however, greater emphasis is placed on the presence of knowledge infrastructure such as higher education institutions, ICT infrastructure, laboratories and science parks (Feldman 1994, Feldman and Francis 2003; Smith and Bagchi-Sen 2006).”
