该报告为个人层面的发明家生产力驱动因素提供了新的见解。它包括众所周知的驱动因素，如发明人的年龄和教育程度，对发明人团队规模的控制，公司/申请人信息，以及从专利数据中得出的时期和技术领域效应。此外，它还增加了在现有关于发明家生产力的研究中基本上被忽视的发明家特征，例如工作经验的广度，发散性思维能力，认知问题解决能力，对来自发明家专业领域内外的网络知识的使用，以及个性特征。该实证模型利用了一个新的数据集，该数据集将有关发明者人力资本的信息，如创造性技能，个性特征，网络和职业传记（通过自我管理的调查收集）与1978年至2012年期间1932年德国发明者的清洁技术，纳米技术和机械元件的专利历史相匹配。我们的研究结果表明，额外的发明人特征的比例增加了一倍的总变化的生产力解释的个人特征。此外，我们发现，在不同行业和沿着生产率分布的个人特征的重要性的差异，生产力高和低的发明家。
This report offers new insights into the drivers of inventor productivity at the individual level. It includes well-known drivers, such as inventor age and education, and controls for inventor team size, and firm/applicant information, as well as period and technology field effects derived from patent data. In addition, it adds inventor characteristics that have been largely neglected in existing studies on inventor productivity, such as the breadth of work experience, divergent thinking skills, cognitive problem-solving skills, the use of knowledge sourced from networks within and outside of the inventors’ field of expertise, and personality traits. The empirical model draws on a new dataset that matches information about inventors’ human capital, such as creative skills, personality traits, networks, and career biographies (collected with a self-administered survey) with patenting histories for 1932 German inventors between the years 1978 and 2012 for clean technology, nanotechnology, and mechanical elements. Our results indicate that the additional inventor characteristics double the proportion of total variation of productivity explained by individual characteristics. Furthermore, we find differences in the importance of individual characteristics across industries and along the productivity distribution, between more and less productive inventors.
