It is widely known that demand-pull policies in the United States, especially the federal investment tax credits (ITC) and the California Solar Initiative (CSI), have led to a rapid escalation in the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. But there has been little systematic study into...

Strategic patenting is widely believed to raise the costs of innovating, especially in industries characterised by cumulative innovation. This paper studies the effects of strategic patenting on Ramp;D, patenting and market value in the computer software industry. We focus on two key aspects:...

My note, titled For the People and by the People: A New Proposal for Defining Industry Standards in Computer Software, focuses on the increasingly contentious world of standard setting organizations (SSOs) in the software and hardware industries, where industry leaders and upstarts alike jostle...

The success of Silicon Valley start-ups has led many countries to look at the beneficial impact of start-ups in creating jobs, improving economic standard of region, providing cutting edge to competition of nation. Not many of the attempts to transplant this typical US system in alien...
