An empirical analysis of the effects of patents and secrecy on knowledge spillovers
Schmidt, Tobias (contributor) - 2006
Theoretical considerations suggest that secrecy reduces spillovers almost completely through non-disclosure, while the disclosure requirement of patents generates some spillover and at the same time allows firms to appropriate knowledge. In this paper we empirically analyze whether protection by...

Patent protection, market uncertainty, and R&D investment
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Toole, Andrew A. (contributor) - 2006
The real options investment theory shows that greater uncertainty about market revenues reduces current R&D investment by increasing the value of waiting. This paper presents empirical evidence that patent protection mitigates the effect market uncertainty on R&D investment.

Patent protection, market uncertainty, and R&D investment
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Toole, Andrew A. (contributor) - 2008 - Rev. version
Real options investment theory predicts current investment falls as uncertainty about market returns increases. In the case of R&D investment, which is usually considered an irreversible form of investment, this effect should be quite pronounced. This paper tests the real options prediction...

Cremers, Katrin; Gaessler, Fabian; Harhoff, Dietmar; … - 2014
We analyze the impact of the probabilistic nature of patents on the functioning of Germany’s bifurcated patent litigation system where infringement and validity of a patent are decided independently by different courts. We show that bifurcation creates situations in which a patent is held...

International stock return predictability under model uncertainty
Schrimpf, Andreas (contributor) - 2008
This paper examines return predictability when the investor is uncertain about the right state variables. A novel feature of the model averaging approach used in this paper is to account for finite-sample bias of the coefficients in the predictive regressions. Drawing on an extensive...
