Technology Variation vs. R&D Uncertainty : What Matters Most for Energy Patent Success?
Popp, David - 2012
R&D is an uncertain activity with highly skewed outcomes. Nonetheless, most recent empirical studies and modeling estimates of the potential of technological change focus on the average returns to research and development (R&D) for a composite technology and contain little or no information...
