Yet, there is little long-run, systematic, empirical evidence on the relationship between complexity and collaboration. A new database is introduced that identifies all (co-)inventors on more than 3 million US patents between 1836 and 1975. Empirical analysis reveals (i) collaboration on US patents began to increase in the 1940s; (ii) there is a robust positive relationship between complexity and collaboration; and (iii) increasing complexity is associated with local rather than nonlocal collaboration. 000047804 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/pages/using-the-content/citation 000047804 590__ $$aPublished online: 2020 000047804 650_0 $$aKnowledge 000047804 650_0 $$aIntellectual property 000047804 650_0 $$aPatents 000047804 650_0 $$aInnovation 000047804 7001_ $$avan der Wouden, Frank,$$vauthor. 000047804 7731_ $$tIndustrial and Corporate Change,$$wINCC 000047804 830_0 $$aIndustrial and Corporate Change$$vINCC 2020, 29(3), 599-619 000047804 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtz058 000047804 904__ $$aArticle 000047804 980__ $$aINCC
