"Super-resolution microscopy was adopted to investigate the ability of WASP CRIB mutants to localize to clathrin-coated pits and to recruit the Arp2/3 complex. Images were acquires using a Zeiss LSM880 equipped with a 63x/1.40 NA objective. GFP was excited at 488 nm, RFP at 561 nm. Images were acquired using the ZEN imaging software every 1 or 2 s. TIRF microscopy was utilized to monitor the dynamics of clathrin, WASPs, Arp2/3 complex and actin on the ventral surface of the cells. Images were acquired using a modified Nikon Eclipse TE 2000-U microscope equipped with a photometrics Evolve 512 camera and a DualView DV2 emission splitter. GFP and RFP were excited using 473 nm and 561 nm wavelengths respectively. A 100x/1.40 NA TIRF objective was used. Images were acquired every 1 or 2 s using the MetaMorph software. (p. 18)", |

"To determine when this Hip1R\u2013cortactin complex might function during endocytosis, we quantitatively analyzed the temporal appearance of Hip1R and cortactin at endocytic sites. Previous immuno-EM studies revealed that both proteins are present during all stages of CCP formation (Engqvist-Goldstein et al, 2001; Cao et al, 2003). In addition, Hip1R appeared to link actin filaments to CCPs, whereas cortactin was found on actin filaments and actin filament branches throughout the plasma membrane (EngqvistGoldstein et al, 2001; Cao et al, 2003). Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIR-FM) was performed to image Hip1R-GFP or cortactin-GFP on the surfaces of cells stably expressing DsRed-clathrin (Figure 4). Consistent with previous reports, Hip1R appeared at essentially all of the clathrin patches, whereas cortactin appeared at about onethird of the clathrin patches (Engqvist-Goldstein et al, 2004; Merrifield et al, 2005). We found that Hip1R recruitment follows the course of CCP growth, albeit with a small delay compared to clathrin (Figure 4A, C and E). When a CCP started to disappear, Hip1R behavior was essentially the same as that of clathrin. These observations are consistent with previous observations, but with greater time resolution (Engqvist-Goldstein et al, 2001; Keyel et al, 2004). In contrast, cortactin recruitment was more precipitous, occurring close to the time of CCV formation, and cortactin fluorescence lingered slightly longer after clathrin disappeared (Figure 4B, D and E).", |
|
"Live cell imaging TIR-FM was performed using an Olympus IX81 microscope equipped with a \b 60/NA1.45. lens and 488 nm argon ion laser (Melles Griot). The temperature was maintained at 27.51C using a Bioptechs chamber. The 488 nm laser was used to excite both GFP and DsRed. Simultaneous two-color imaging was performed using an image splitter (Optical Insight) to separate the red and green emission signals to two sides of the camera sensor using a 565 nm dichroic mirror, and 530/30 and 630/50 nm emission filters. No bleed-through between the red and the green channel was detected under our conditions. Swiss 3T3 cells that stably express DsRedmLCa (mouse clathrin light chain a) were transiently transfected with Hip1R-GFP or cortactin-GFP using Lipofectamine reagent (Invitrogen) 48 h before imaging. Each cell was imaged every 2 s for 200\u2013300 frames. After each experiment, images of immobilized microbeads that fluoresce at both green and red wavelengths were captured. These images were used to align the cell images.", |

"Myosin-I Expression and Purification\u2014The cDNA for human myosin-IC (accession NM 004998), kindly provided by W. M. Bement (University of Wisconsin), was truncated at Glu720, generating a construct containing the motor domain and the only IQ motif (referred to as myo1eIQ throughout the paper). A FLAG peptide sequence was inserted at the C terminus and subcloned into the baculovirus transfer vector pVL1392 (Invitrogen). Recombinant baculovirus was generated using standard procedures. Myo1eIQ with bound calmodulin was purified from Sf9 cells that were coinfected with virus containing recombinant myo1eIQ and CaM (Fig. 1). Four liters of log phase cells (2 & 106 cells/ml) were infected and incubated at 27 \u00b0C for 60 h with shaking. Cells were harvested by centrifugation; suspended in lysis buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.0, 200 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2,5mM DTT, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 0.01 mg/ml aprotinin, 0.01 mg/ml leupeptin), 2 mM MgATP, and 0.05% Igepal at 4 \u00b0C; and homogenized with five strokes in a Dounce homogenizer. Cell extract was centrifuged at 100,000 & g for 1 h. The supernatant was loaded onto anti-FLAG antibody columns (Sigma). Columns were washed with 5 column volumes of lysis buffer ' 2mM MgATP and 5 column volumes of lysis buffer. Myo1eIQ was eluted with 10 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 5 \"M CaM, 0.2 mg/ml FLAG peptide (Sigma), 0.01 mg/ml aprotinin, 0.01 mg/ml leupeptin. Eluted protein was loaded directly on to an 8-ml Mono Q column (Amersham Biosciences) equilibrated in column buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 25 mM KCl, 1mM DTT) and eluted with a linear 25 mM\u20131 M KCl gradient. The Mono Q column separated myo1eIQ from FLAG peptide, ADP, ATP, and free CaM. Fractions containing myo1eIQ were dialyzed versus storage buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM DTT, 50% glycerol), which concentrated the protein and allowed for storage at $20 \u00b0C. Quantitative densitometry showed that myo1eIQ was (95% pure, and the CaM:myo1eIQ ratio was 1:1. Approximately 2 mg of pure myo1e protein was obtained from 4 liters of cells. (p. 2)", |

Measured individual lifetimes were pooled into two groups: the \u201cdynamic\u201d group corresponding to structures with a lifetime below the duration of the movie (5 min) and the \u201cstatic\u201d group with a lifetime of 5 min. Of note, the relative percentage of dynamic versus static structures depends on the duration of the movie because static structures are only counted once while dynamic structures continuously nucleate and disappear during the movie.

"As shown in Fig. 2A, the human cortactin siRNA inhibited cortactin expression by \u000560 \u2013 80% as compared with that of the cells treated with the HS1 siRNA. When biotinTfn uptake was analyzed, a nearly 70% reduction in endocytosis was found in the cells treated with cortactin siRNA (Fig. 2B, left), which is consistent with our previous report (22) and a report from others (23). To determine whether the decrease in Tfn endocytosis was due to the specific loss of cortactin in the siRNA-treated cells, we treated the cells expressing murine cortactin-GFP with HS1 and cortactin siRNAs, respectively. In addition to the endogenous cortactin, the human cortactin siRNA also showed a slight inhibition of the exogenous murine cortactin (Fig. 2B, right), presumably because of the 95% identity between human and mouse mRNAs in the region targeted by the siRNA. Nevertheless, the overall level of exogenous cortactin proteins was greater than or similar to that of the endogenous cortactin of the control cells. At this level cortactin siRNA failed to inhibit Tfn uptake in the cortactinGFP-expressing cells, indicating that cortactin-GFP protein maintains its endocytic function similar to the endogenous cortactin. However, the same cortactin siRNA retained inhibitory activity for Tfn uptake in the cells expressing either mutant Cort-F-GFP or Cort\u0003SH3GFP (Fig. 2B)." |

"These experiments were performed using U2Os cells with an endogenously GFP-tagged \u03b1 adaptin 2 Sigma-Aldrich subunit (AP2S1, hereafter referred to simply as AP2). AP2 is a widely used CME marker that faithfully mirrors clathrin dynamics (Almeida-Souza et al., 2018; Ehrlich et al., 2004; Rappoport and Simon, 2008). We used endogenously tagged cell lines throughout this study as the expression level of the AP2 complex was shown to modulate the amount of FCLs (Dambournet et al., 2018).", |

"Manipulation of CME machinery to study RA formation Clathrin assembly at the cell membrane was reduced by silencing two subdomains of AP2 or by overexpressing AP180 ct, which acts as a dominant negative for AP2. U2Os AP2-GFP cells silenced for AP2A1 shRNA #1 and #2 or AP2S1 shRNA #1, #2, and #3, and control shRNA, and plated on non-coated imaging dishes were fixed and stained for integrin \u03b1v\u03b25 and FA marker p-Pax.

"While all FCLs colocalize to RAs, FCL-free areas of larger RAs are rather common (e.g., Fig. 2 A; Fig. 3, A\u2013C;andFig. S2 D), which may give the impression that FCLs are formed on preexisting RAs. Nevertheless, the fact that both structures are inhibited independently by FN suggests a deeper relationship and led us to ask if RAs can exist without the CME machinery. To answer this question, we quantified the RA coverage in U2OsAP2-GFP cells silenced for the clathrin adaptor AP2 complex subunits \u03b11 (AP2A1) or Sigma-Aldrich 1 (AP2S1) in cells plated on non-coated dishes, a condition where we observe large RAs. Consistent with an important role played by the CME machinery in RA formation, AP2A1- or AP2S1-silenced cells (easily recognizable as cells with little to no AP2-GFP signal) did not display RAs. Instead, integrin \u03b1v\u03b25 localized to FAs (Fig. 4, A and B)." |

"Screening for Rab21 interaction partners by GFP-pulldown. Each mass-spectrometry experiment consisted of a mixture of a GFP-pulldown in active GFP\u2013Rab21-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells (WT or active Rab21 Q76L mutant) cultured in heavy medium and a GFP-pulldown in control cells (expressing GFP or the inactive GFP\u2013Rab21 T33N mutant) cultured in light medium (forward experiment). In the reverse experiment, the heavy and light media were exchanged (label-swap experiment). Briefly, co-immunoprecipitation samples were prepared as follows. Cells (two 15 cm dishes) were cultured until they reached 60\u201380% confluence, washed with ice-cold PBSM (PBS + 5 mM MgCl2), harvested in PBSM, pooled and washed again.

"At a given time, a subset of puncta in WASP CRIB mutants is also enriched in active Rac. WASP-CRIB-mutants and active Rac appear to have distinct dynamics: active Rac appears to remain at the plasma membrane for longer than CRIB-mutated WASPs. Therefore, although some active Rac-positive structures are not enriched in CRIB-mutated WASPs, we cannot exclude that they were enriched in CRIB-mutated WASP at some stage. Representative plots showing active Rac marker localization from front to rear are shown in Figure 5E. Quantification (Figure 5F) reveals that cells expressing CRIB-mutated WASPs accumulate active Rac at the rear to the same degree as wasA\u0001 cells, while wild-type WASP rescues the spatial confinement of active Rac at the leading edge.

The second model avoids this difficulty by proposing that large, flat clathrin lattices are not precursors of CME and that, at sites of CME, clathrin directly assembles to produce the curved coat as the membrane invaginates (7)(Fig.1A)." |

GFP and RFP tracks with high variability in the intensity/time profile were automatically rejected (Ferguson et al., 2017) as well as tracks \u0014 3 s in duration (Dambournet et al., 2018) and the remaining tracks were associated spatiotemporally according to a cost matrix (Hong et al., 2015). We used two track rejection schemes. In the first, users were presented with fluorescence montages and XY coordinates of the tracks to assess the fidelity of tracking for each event (Hong et al., 2015). In the second, tracks were automatically rejected based signal-to-noise ratio (>1.05) and proximity to neighboring tracks (>525 nm) (Hong et al., 2015). We checked that the manual and automatic track rejection schemes yielded similar results (lifetime distributions and intensity versus time plots) as well as to manual, kymographbased quantification of lifetimes (below). From the above workflow (Dambournet et al., 2018) we increased throughput by connecting all steps into an automated tracking pipeline requiring minimal user input. For SK-MEL-2 cells expressing CLTA-RFP and DNM2-GFP, we tracked regions that were not near the nucleus (which has a concentration of Golgi-derived clathrin budding) and that did not have large, bright, persistent structures containing invariant RFP and GFP signals (\u2018plaques,\u2019 which are likely sites of adhesion).

"we select all U.S. inventors who patented in Michigan or in another nonenforcing state before the passing of MARA in 1985, including Alaska, California, Connecticut, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Washington, and West Virginia (Malsberger 1996; Marx et al. 2009, Marx et al. 2015). Inventors who did not patent in a nonenforcing state or only did so after the passing of MARA are excluded to ensure that MARA did not affect sample selection. We track all subsequent patents linked to this set of inventors and assigned to a \ufb01rm and identify each move between \ufb01rms (again, the design relies upon inventors patenting at least twice). Only intrastate moves are taken into account because inventors can emigrate from Michigan to a nonenforcing state to avoid a lawsuit (Marx et al. 2015). Finally, we restrict the analysis to the 1975\u20131995 period, that is, 10 years before and after the passing of MARA. Notice that we collect all patents, both before and after MARA and in and out of Michigan. This results in the full sample of patents by inventors at risk for moving between \ufb01rms both in Michigan and elsewhere before and after MARA. The resulting data set spans 21 years and consists of 29,956 inventors and 162,586 patents of which 13,723 patents represent a move, that is, the \ufb01rst subsequent patent of an inventor after moving to a new \ufb01rm.

However, while passing MARA, legislators unintentionally revoked statute 445.761, which prohibited the enforcement of noncompete agreements in Michigan (Alterman 1985). After the passing of MARA, employers in Michigan suddenly obtained the legal means to prevent their ex-employees from working in the same \ufb01eld at a different \ufb01rm (Marx et al. 2009). As such, the Michigan experiment provided an exogenous pressure on inventors to explore new \ufb01elds after they left their former employer.", |

"To estimate the effect of exploring new \ufb01elds on the novelty and value of invention, we use a two-stage least square model (2SLS). Because the endogenous variable is binary, we use the approach suggested by Angrist (2001) and Angrist and Pischke (2008). For a recent application of the approach, see Galasso and Schankerman (2015). First, we estimate the likelihood of exploring new fields with a logit model in a difference-in-differences configuration. We include the interaction between Michigan and postmara as an exogenous variable capturing the effect of the policy reversal. Using logit instead of OLS in the \ufb01rst stage results in a better \ufb01t. Second, we calculate the \ufb01tted probabilities of exploring new fields and use these nonlinear fitted values bound between zero and one as an instrument for exploring new fjelds in the 2SLS models. Using nonlinear fitted values as an instrument is the same as plugging in \ufb01tted values when the first stage is estimated by OLS, but the advantage is a better predictor of exploring new fields in the first stage (Angrist and Pischke 2008). The 2SLS model uses a single instrument, resulting in just-identified estimates. Standard errors are clustered at the inventor level to control for repeated observations. (p. 12)", |

"Our identi\ufb01cation relies on the fact that only mobile inventors residing in Michigan after the passing of MARA are affected; Michigan inventors before MARA and inventors from other states before and after MARA are not affected by the policy change. Therefore, we can combine differences in exploring new \ufb01elds between inventors from different states (Michigan versus nonMichigan) with differences between cohorts induced by the timing of MARA (pre- versus post-MARA). The interaction between binary indicators for Michigan residence and post-MARA is expected to have a positive signi\ufb01cant effect on the likelihood of exploring new \ufb01elds. Thus, this difference-in-differences (DD) can be used as an instrument for exploring new \ufb01elds (Du\ufb02o 2001).

Furthermore, regression DD allows us to include additional inventor and \ufb01eld characteristics affecting the likelihood of exploring new \ufb01elds as controls. The main assumption is that, in the absence of MARA, the trend in exploring new \ufb01elds would not have been systematically different between Michigan and nonMichigan mobile inventors. (p. 12)" |

We also calculated the r wg coefficient as an index of within-group interrater agreement [41]. the mean r wg for the creative ability scores was 0.97 (range: 0.85\u20131.00), indicating strong agreement [52]. 5 hence, we combined the scores of the raters.

"A Dutch beer brewery gave permission to use one of their campaign briefs in our study. the participant\u2019s task was to write a proposal for a campaign that had to boost brand loyalty and enhance the image of the brand. the campaign had to be targeted at the \u201cheavy-user\u201d segment with \u201clive music\u201d as the main theme. the brief included a number of practical constraints: (1) the promotion had to apply to crates (containing 30 cl [centiliter] or 45 cl bottles), (2) promotional items should not be attached to the sides of the crates, and (3) the value of the promotional offer should not exceed 5 euros per crate. the campaign proposal had to contain a brief description of (1) the basic idea, (2) the sales promotion technique, (3) supporting activities, and (4) a rough cost estimation. the task thus involved all the phases of the creative process, including a divergent (generating ideas) and a convergent phase (selecting and working out the best idea) [5]. the participants were instructed not to copy one of the brand\u2019s previous campaigns (see [67]). they were also told that experts would rate their campaign proposal on novelty and usefulness (see [10]).

There are low-level functional systems often embedded in larger functional systems that contribute to the overall activity being observed. Functional operation is decomposed into smaller units of analysis that make sense with respect to the particular system.

The functional de\ufb01nition of the unit of analysis helps with this identi\ufb01cation.

It is the detailing of representational states and processes that helps the analyst to understand much of the system processing as it involves transitions between humans and artifacts. One records the representational state, the material media on which it is instantiated, as well as the processes that transform it. Video recording is particularly helpful here because of the ability to review the record repetitively and glean details that are observable but di\ufb03cult to catch in just \u2018\u2018one-pass\u2019\u2019.

"At present, PiMS is used for data entry, retrieval, and analysis by a variety of professional groups, each of which constitutes different communities of knowledge and practice and has different interests. PiMS is used to record patient details at registration and after (such demographic details as contact address and phone number, GP address and phone number); referrals of the patient to BPCT, either from external sources (such as GPs, self-referral), or from elsewhere within the Trust (between practitioners); planned/booked patient appointments; details of each contact the patient has with Trust Mental Health practitioners; details of patient assessments carried out by Trust practitioners. Currently, data entry is performed within the Trust\u2019s multi-disciplinary teams largely by secretarial, nursing, and related staff, such as occupational therapists. Very few medical consultants or junior doctors use the system themselves, preferring to handwrite records, and delegating computer data entry to their team secretaries.", |
|
"The data comprise field notes and transcriptions of interviews with staff about their everyday work, their use of PiMS and other information systems, both manual and computer-based, their training on PiMS, and also their use of the Trust\u2019s previous computer systems. (p. 8)", |
|
"The veracity of findings was established using a number of techniques. These included triangulation through the collection of data by multiple methods and sources. Verification was performed through discussions of findings with clinical and nonclinical BPCT staff; in feedback sessions with the clinical staff interviewed at their weekly team meetings; and in a Trust-wide workshop for feedback and discussion on the PiMS implementation project. As fieldwork progressed, comparisons were also be drawn between the activities of workers over time and between members of different occupational groups. (p. 8)", |
|
"Nonclinical settings in which fieldwork was conducted included regular meetings of the PiMS Implementation Group (weekly) and the PiMS User Group (monthly). These involved members of the Project Team responsible for implementing PiMS, and staff from the Information Services (IS) and Clinical Governance (CG) Teams. The latter two groups were users of PiMS data from an administrative perspective, analyzing data from the system in order to compile mental healthcare statistics for decision making within and beyond BPCT. All had an interest in ensuring the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of data entry, including the use of the Contact Purpose menu.", |
|
"The investigation reported here is based on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork carried out in BPCT. Data collection methods included participant observation and semistructured interviews with a range of personnel across a number of sites within the Trust, in both clinical and nonclinical departments or settings. The first round of data collection in BPCT took place between autumn 2001 and spring 2002, after which an initial report of fieldwork findings on the implementation process to date, together with some recommendations for action, were presented to Trust managers (Hardstone 2002) (p. 7).", |

Each team covered a different aspect of its service\u2019s mental health provision and had its own caseloads, and therefore had different work patterns and practices influencing its use of PiMS. While CPN Teams were occupationally homogeneous, others had a broader membership, including consultants, nurses, CPNs, occupational and other therapists, and social workers, as well as medical secretaries. In the context of this paper, each team had a different array of purposes for contact with patients. (p. 7)" |

"To assess creative thinking, children completed divergent and convergent creativity tasks from the Evaluation of Potential Creativity. Divergent thinking reflects the ability to think of ideas that differ from one another; convergent thinking reflects the ability to think of a single creative solution. Performance on such creative thinking tasks has been shown to predict both academic*' and creative achievement. In the divergent thinking task, the child was asked to draw as many different drawings as possible from one imposed abstract form (i.e, incomplete shape), within 10 min. The final score was the sum of all valid drawings. In the convergent thinking task, the child had to select three different abstract forms out of eight to create an original drawing that combined them, within 15 min. Three blind judges scored the drawings for originality following the EPoC scoring manual (inter-rater agreement; Krippendorff's alpha = 0.905). Independent t tests were computed on each creativity score (divergent and convergent) to test for between-group differences. Pearson\u2019s correlations were computed between each creativity score and the verbal fluency metrics to test whether creative thinking relates to the quantity and quality of words retrieved from semantic memory. (p. 5)", |
|
"Children completed verbal fluency task. Category verbal fluency tasks have been widely used to efficiently assess semantic network organization. Consistent with traditional task administration, each child had 60s to name as many animals as he/she could. Based on previous work in children, we targeted the animal category. Children spoke their responses out loud, which were recorded (and later transcribed) by an experimenter. For each child, fluency data was preprocessed using the SemNA pipeline in R. Repetitions or variation on roots were converged and non-category members were excluded from the final analysis. Number of responses per participant were summed (total number of responses). (p. 5)", |
|
"Finally, using these word association matrices, we applied the triangulated maximally filtered graph TMFGY; to minimize noise and potential spurious associations. The TMFG method filters the word association matrices to capture only the most relevant information (i.e, removal of spurious associations and retaining the largest associations) within the original network. This approach retains the same number of edges between groups (i.e, 3n-6, where n equals the number of responses), which avoids the confound of difference network structures being due to a different number of edges, This resulted in a 68 nodes network with 198 edges for both groups. (p. 5)", |
|
"Next, we computed a word association matrix for each group using the cosine similarity. The cosine similarity is commonly used in related to Pearson\u2019s correlation, which can be considered as the cosine between two normalized vectors. With the cosine similarity measure, all values are positive ranging from 0 (two responses do not co-occur) to 1 (two responses always co-occur). For both groups, each element in the word association matrix, A;, represents the cosine similarity or the co-occurrence between response i and j. (p. 5)", |

Inclusion criteria were schoolings ystem (participants had to be enrolled in Montessori or in traditional classes from the early years on, in the case of the youngest children, or for at least 3 years), age (5-14 years of age); exclusion criteria were parental report of learning disabilities or sensory impairment. To account for variability in our measures due to nonverbal intelligence, or socioeconomic background, we controlled for between-group homogeneity in nonverbal intelligence (black and white short version of the Progressive Matrices\u00ae) and family socioeconomic status (both parents\u2019 education levels (score from 1 to 5) and current job (score from 1 to 4); scores were summed and averaged between both parents (max 9), with higher scores denoting higher SES).

"The processed data were transferred into a binary response matrix, where columns represent the unique exemplars given by the sample and rows represent participants; the response matrix is filled out by 1 (if an exemplar was generated by that participant) and 0 (if that exemplar was not generated). To control for confounding factors (such as different nodes or edges in both groups), as in previous studies, the binary response matrices only include responses that are given by at least two participants in each group. Then, to avoid the two groups including a different number of nodes, which may bias comparison of network parameters, responses in the binary matrices were equated, so that the networks of both groups in each sample are compared using the same nodes.

"we select all U.S. inventors who patented in Michigan or in another nonenforcing state before the passing of MARA in 1985, including Alaska, California, Connecticut, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Washington, and West Virginia (Malsberger 1996; Marx et al. 2009, Marx et al. 2015). Inventors who did not patent in a nonenforcing state or only did so after the passing of MARA are excluded to ensure that MARA did not affect sample selection. We track all subsequent patents linked to this set of inventors and assigned to a \ufb01rm and identify each move between \ufb01rms (again, the design relies upon inventors patenting at least twice). Only intrastate moves are taken into account because inventors can emigrate from Michigan to a nonenforcing state to avoid a lawsuit (Marx et al. 2015). Finally, we restrict the analysis to the 1975\u20131995 period, that is, 10 years before and after the passing of MARA. Notice that we collect all patents, both before and after MARA and in and out of Michigan. This results in the full sample of patents by inventors at risk for moving between \ufb01rms both in Michigan and elsewhere before and after MARA. The resulting data set spans 21 years and consists of 29,956 inventors and 162,586 patents of which 13,723 patents represent a move, that is, the \ufb01rst subsequent patent of an inventor after moving to a new \ufb01rm. The \ufb01nal analysis is restricted to these mobile inventors because the pressure to explore new \ufb01elds because of MARA only affects inventors who move between \ufb01rms.", |
|
"In 1985, MARA was passed with the intention of harmonizing state law with the uniform state antitrust act (Bullard 1985). However, while passing MARA, legislators unintentionally revoked statute 445.761, which prohibited the enforcement of noncompete agreements in Michigan (Alterman 1985). After the passing of MARA, employers in Michigan suddenly obtained the legal means to prevent their ex-employees from working in the same \ufb01eld at a different \ufb01rm (Marx et al. 2009). As such, the Michigan experiment provided an exogenous pressure on inventors to explore new \ufb01elds after they left their former employer.", |
|
"To estimate the effect of exploring new \ufb01elds on the novelty and value of invention, we use a two-stage least square model (2SLS). Because the endogenous variable is binary, we use the approach suggested by Angrist (2001) and Angrist and Pischke (2008). For a recent application of the approach, see Galasso and Schankerman (2015). First, we estimate the likelihood of exploring new fields with a logit model in a difference-in-differences configuration. We include the interaction between Michigan and postmara as an exogenous variable capturing the effect of the policy reversal. Using logit instead of OLS in the \ufb01rst stage results in a better \ufb01t. Second, we calculate the \ufb01tted probabilities of exploring new fields and use these nonlinear fitted values bound between zero and one as an instrument for exploring new fjelds in the 2SLS models. Using nonlinear fitted values as an instrument is the same as plugging in \ufb01tted values when the first stage is estimated by OLS, but the advantage is a better predictor of exploring new fields in the first stage (Angrist and Pischke 2008). The 2SLS model uses a single instrument, resulting in just-identified estimates. Standard errors are clustered at the inventor level to control for repeated observations. (p. 12)", |
|
"For each inventor-patent observation, we identify whether there is any overlap between the three-digit technology classes of the focal patent and the three-digit technology classes linked to all prior patents of the coinventors on the patent (excluding the focal inventor). Expert team is a binary indicator that equals one if at least one of the coinventors has a prior patent in the same class(es) as the focal patent. The measure is used a moderator to test whether collaboration with experts reduces the negative effect of exploring new fields on value. (p. 6)", |
|
"To assess patent value, we calculate forward citations (ln) as the logarithmic trans-formation of one plus the number of times a patent is referenced as prior art within 10 years. (p. 6)", |
|
"Our identi\ufb01cation relies on the fact that only mobile inventors residing in Michigan after the passing of MARA are affected; Michigan inventors before MARA and inventors from other states before and after MARA are not affected by the policy change. Therefore, we can combine differences in exploring new \ufb01elds between inventors from different states (Michigan versus nonMichigan) with differences between cohorts induced by the timing of MARA (pre- versus post-MARA). The interaction between binary indicators for Michigan residence and post-MARA is expected to have a positive signi\ufb01cant effect on the likelihood of exploring new \ufb01elds. Thus, this difference-in-differences (DD) can be used as an instrument for exploring new \ufb01elds (Du\ufb02o 2001). The DD speci\ufb01cation controls for overall time trends in exploring new \ufb01elds (across all states) and for time-invariant unobserved differences between Michigan and non-Michigan inventors (Angrist and Pischke 2008). Furthermore, regression DD allows us to include additional inventor and \ufb01eld characteristics affecting the likelihood of exploring new \ufb01elds as controls. The main assumption is that, in the absence of MARA, the trend in exploring new \ufb01elds would not have been systematically different between Michigan and nonMichigan mobile inventors. (p. 12)" |

"A Dutch beer brewery gave permission to use one of their campaign briefs in our study. the participant\u2019s task was to write a proposal for a campaign that had to boost brand loyalty and enhance the image of the brand. the campaign had to be targeted at the \u201cheavy-user\u201d segment with \u201clive music\u201d as the main theme. the brief included a number of practical constraints: (1) the promotion had to apply to crates (containing 30 cl [centiliter] or 45 cl bottles), (2) promotional items should not be attached to the sides of the crates, and (3) the value of the promotional offer should not exceed 5 euros per crate. the campaign proposal had to contain a brief description of (1) the basic idea, (2) the sales promotion technique, (3) supporting activities, and (4) a rough cost estimation. the task thus involved all the phases of the creative process, including a divergent (generating ideas) and a convergent phase (selecting and working out the best idea) [5]. the participants were instructed not to copy one of the brand\u2019s previous campaigns (see [67]). they were also told that experts would rate their campaign proposal on novelty and usefulness (see [10]). (p. 8)", |

"the novelty items and the usefulness items showed high internal consistency for all experts (Cronbach \u03b1s > 0.86). thus, we averaged the individual item scores to obtain a single \u201cnovelty\u201d score and a single \u201cusefulness\u201d score per expert. to obtain an \u201coverall creativity\u201d score for each expert, we averaged these novelty and usefulness scores (see [13, 55]).

"To assess patent novelty, we calculate new combinations (ln) as the logarithmic transformation of one plus the number of pairwise subclass combinations of a patent that appear for the first time in the US. patent database (Fleming et al. 2007, Jung and Jeongsik 2016). To do so, each pairwise combination of subclasses is compared with all pairwise combinations of all prior U.S. patents. (p. 5)", |

"we begin with the full population of inventors and collect all patents assigned to \ufb01rms but, by design, must restrict the sample to inventors who have at least two patents assigned to the same \ufb01rm. The advantage of this panel setup is that we can use inventor\u2013firm fixed effect models to control for unobserved heterogeneity among inventors and firms, which arguably have a strong effect on the novelty and value of creative output. This approach basically uses repeated patents of the same inventor within the same firm to identify whether the inventor creates more or less novel\u2014and more or less valuable\u2014patents when any subsequent patent is categorized in a new \ufb01eld. The sample includes 2,705,431 patent\u2013inventor observations assigned to 396,336 unique inventors and 46,880 unique firms, accounting for 473,419 unique inventor\u2013firm pairs. (p. 5)", |

"For each inventor-patent observation, we identify whether there is any overlap between the three-digit technology classes of the focal patent and the three-digit technology classes linked to all prior patents of the coinventors on the patent (excluding the focal inventor). Expert team is a binary indicator that equals one if at least one of the coinventors has a prior patent in the same class(es) as the focal patent. The measure is used a moderator to test whether collaboration with experts reduces the negative effect of exploring new fields on value. (p. 6)", |

"Following Amabile [5], we asked three experts to rate independently all of the campaign proposals. two of the experts were creative directors of renowned Dutch marketing agencies. the other expert was the beer brewery\u2019s senior marketing manager in charge of the original campaign. two of the experts had also served as chairmen of the annual Dutch Sales Promotion Campaign Awards. the experts were blind to the study design. All the proposals were given an identical layout and were sent to the experts in randomized batches of 20 proposals. there were no order or batch effects. It took about four hours to rate all 40 proposals. (pp. 9-10)", |

"Study 2 was identical to Study 1, except for the experimental treatments. Of the CBR system with 100 diverse cases used in Study 1, 50 cases were classified as \u201cclose\u201d and 50 as \u201cremote\u201d based on the product category (see [16]). Campaigns for consumer-packaged goods (cpg), such as beer and soft drinks, are quite different from campaigns for consumer durables or services (non-cpg), such as cars or insurance products. Since beer is a consumer-packaged good, we classified all cpg cases as \u201cclose\u201d and all non-cpg cases as \u201cremote.\u201d To test H2, we devised a between-subjects study in which one group of participants (n = 20) was given a CBR system with remote cases only, while the other group (n = 20) received a CBR system with close cases only. (p. 13)", |

"Forty marketing students from the same university as in Study 1 were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. gender and education level were again found to be proportionally distributed over the two groups (gender: 73 percent male; education level: 70 percent master\u2019s degree, 30 percent bachelor\u2019s degree). (p. 13)", |

"the search structure of the CBR system consisted of the following components: (1) general information about the case; (2) problem situation, including market situation, campaign objectives, and constraints; (3) solution, including campaign design and campaign execution; and (4) outcomes. this search structure contained 60 different variables. users could search for cases by specifying the parameters they deemed relevant given the problem situation. the search values were mostly qualitative in nature, such as \u201cintroduction,\u201d \u201cgrowth,\u201d \u201cmaturity,\u201d and \u201cdecline\u201d for the variable \u201cproduct life cycle phase.\u201d users could also attach importance weights to the search variables (ranging from \u201cvery low\u201d to \u201cvery high\u201d). the importance weights could be inferred from the campaign brief. to prevent information overload, the CBR system displayed only the ten most similar past cases. the similarity between the search query and the cases in the CBR system was calculated using a distance-based measure (ranging from 0 = \u201cno similarity\u201d to 1 = \u201cperfect similarity\u201d). users were free to run multiple search queries.

"to measure the creative ability of the participants, we used the Abbreviated torrance test for Adults (ATTA) developed and validated by Goff and Torrance [35] (see also [4]). this test is a brief 15-minute version of the Torrance tests of Creative thinking and measures the following cognitive subskills of creative thinking: fluency (number of ideas), flexibility (diversity of ideas), originality (rarity of ideas), and elaboration (embellishment of ideas with details), together with 15 other creativity indicators, such as \u201crichness and colorfulness of imagery\u201d and \u201chumor: conceptual incongruity.\u201d the ATTA test consists of one verbal and two figural response tasks. two independent, trained raters scored the responses to the tasks. With raters considered in agreement whenever their scores differed no more than one point on a seven-point scale (1 = \u201cminimal\u201d to 7 = \u201csubstantial\u201d) (see [23, 63]), there was agreement in 100 percent of the cases. We also calculated the r wg coefficient as an index of within-group interrater agreement [41]. the mean r wg for the creative ability scores was 0.97 (range: 0.85\u20131.00), indicating strong agreement [52]. 5 hence, we combined the scores of the raters.

"For measuring the novelty of the solution, we selected three items (i.e., originality, surprise, and uniqueness) from Besemer and O\u2019Quin\u2019s [9] Creative Product Semantic Scale, which is a well-known instrument for evaluating creative products [60]. (p. 9)", |
|
"For measuring usefulness, we selected four items from the same scale. We slightly adapted the items to fit the objectives stated in the campaign brief. the four items were effectiveness for increasing the loyalty of heavy users, fit with the brand values, attractiveness for heavy users, and the overall usefulness of the campaign. All seven items were measured on a scale from 0 (very poor) to 10 (excellent). (p. 9)", |

"to fill the case-base of the CBR system, we collected descriptions of 100 award-winning campaigns in Europe from the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. the cases were taken from two books: Scoren [56] and European Sales Promotion: Great Campaigns in Action [75]. Examples of how these cases were stored in the CBR system, which we called LEAPS, 3 are given in Appendix A (close case) and Appendix B (remote case). (p. 8)", |
