摘要：Patent or article citations reflect the consequences of a published idea on the
discovery of new ideas. We draw a simple theoretical model predicting that
the shape of the future citations of an idea can reveal the complexity of its
innovative research spillover. We apply this method to the patent forward
citations in the US industries.
