Summary • Two reports, related • Description of new dataset • Exciting • Comprehensive • Some beginning analysis • Relationship (econometrically) between use of intellectual property and various characteristics
Report 1: Comments, in general • Give me more confidence statistically • T-stats and p-values, std. error, std. dev. • Probably all ok with your large numbers, but show them just the same • Give me more information about the variation in your data • Explore some of the “unstated” relationships and potential explanations for what you see, or don’t see, in the data
Table 13: DV = IP Intensity: quadratics in age and size • Yes, curved, but only marginally 1bn
Report 2: Amount of IP • One patent ≠ another patent, same with TM • Weight / correct for • Cites? Claims? Words? Family size? • Table 3: What share exited, when? • Age dynamics of time • By Sector!!! • Table 7: Probit Regressions • Give me some reduced form models testing specific RQ’s or H1, H2, etc. prior to “full model” • Control from size/quality of IP
Shameless plug • 13,000 technology startups • Software and allied, Biotechnology, Medical Devices, other sectors • In the field now, US • Mit der ZEW, jetz in Feld.
In sum • Heroic effort, wonderful new data • Hooray! • More statistics, more analysis • Match up with survey data (extant, generate) • One Appendix on the CIS • Self-generate survey data • Looking fwd. to what you do with it
