1 1 Online Appendix for Networks and Innovation: Accounting for Structural and Institutional Sources of Recombination in Brokerage Triads Sarath Balachandran Exequiel Hernandez This appendix presents a descriptive table and some additional analyses mentioned in the main paper. Table A1 displays the distribution of countries across the different clusters, used for the analyses presented in tables 3 and 4 of the paper. Table A2 presents the results for two of the robustness tests described in the paper. Models A1 A4 of this paper show the results for the analyses with the largest firms dropped and models A5 A8 present the placebo tests where we compute the network measures using non-r&d alliances. Table A3 shows results from the seemingly unrelated estimation where we examine whether firms differentially select into different triads over time based on the technological diversity of their innovation activities. Table A4 shows the results from analyses where we interact the global spread of a firm s inventors (inventor dispersion) with the triad count variables. Some additional robustness checks are also described below. Additional Robustness Tests We mentioned in the paper that the counts of domestic, mixed, and foreign triads exhibit high correlations with each other. This could lead to multicollinearity. Given the very large sample size, there are sufficient observations in which pairs of triad types do not coincide so as to reduce collinearity problems that would arise in smaller samples. To verify this, we attempted to ensure that the coefficients were stable in magnitude, direction, and significance. We introduced each triad count variable individually into the model and found that the magnitude and significance of the coefficients did not vary substantially with the addition of the others. We also verified that none of these coefficients are particularly sensitive to the addition or removal of control variables. Further, we operationalized our independent variables in different ways to reduce the level of correlation between them, such as normalizing the triad counts by the total number of ties possessed by the firm or using non-logged
2 2 versions of the variables. Using these alternative measures, the coefficients displayed similar relative magnitudes and we found similar support for the hypotheses compared to the main results. Our study is built on the notion that knowledge is more novel or distinct across than within institutional boundaries. This has been suggested in many studies already cited, but we attempted to validate this assumption in our data. To do so, we calculated the average technological distance of each firm to (a) every other firm from its own country and (b) every other firm from other countries. We expected the latter to be statistically larger than the former. We made the calculation separately for two different ways of measuring technological distance patent classes and disease areas. There are seven broad patent classes representing biotechnology (based on Rothaermel & Hess, 2007) and 38 disease areas (e.g. cancer vs. diabetes) in which biotechnology firms can perform R&D (per Recap). We calculated the Euclidean distance between each pair of firms in the sample along each vector of patent classes and disease areas (separately). The results of t-tests reveal that technological differences to firms from the same country are statistically smaller than distances to other countries (p < in both cases, two-tailed). There is an important caveat to this test. Quantifiable differences in patents or technological areas are only one aspect of the types of knowledge differences we theorize about. There are also tacit, unseen differences in knowledge having to do with mental models, ways of doing science, or approaches to problem solving that make a significant (and probably more important) difference to innovation volume and radicalness. For instance, two countries may share similar profiles in terms of the patenting or disease categories in which biotechnology firms are conducting R&D, but tacit cultural or legal differences lead the firms across countries to go about conceptualizing and solving problems in those observable domains in very different ways. Indeed, this hard-to-measure tacitness is the gist of the knowledge-based view of the firm (Kogut and Zander 1992, 1993) and the work on knowledge differences across institutional boundaries (Nelson 1993, Vasudeva et al. 2013).
