Freemium pricing: Evidence from a large-scale field experiment
Runge, Julian; Wagner, Stefan; Claussen, Jörg; … - 2016
Firms commonly run field experiments to improve their freemium pricing schemes. However, they often lack a framework … structuring existing knowledge on freemium pricing into a stylized framework. We apply the proposed framework in the analysis of a … field experiment that contrasts three variations of a freemium pricing scheme and comprises about 300,000 users of a …

Incidence and Growth of Patent Thickets - The Impact of Technological Opportunities and Complexity
von Graevenitz, Georg; Wagner, Stefan; Harhoff, Dietmar - 2011
We investigate incidence and evolution of patent thickets. Our empirical analysis is based on a theoretical model of patenting in complex and discrete technologies. The model captures how competition for patent portfolios and complementarity of patents affect patenting incentives. We show that...
