Technological Opportunities and New Firm Creation
研究技术机会如何影响新企业形成，发现发明的重性、激进性和专利范围会影响其通过创办企业实现商业化的概率。
Research on the creation of new high-technology companies has typically focused either on industry-level factors such as market structure and technology regime or on individual-level factors such as the work experience of entrepreneurs. This study complements these approaches by examining the effect of technological opportunities on firm formation. In particular, the study shows that the probability that an invention will be commercialized through firm formation is influenced by its importance, radicalness, and patent scope.
