respol-methods

separate

Use when research design, identification, or measurement is the bottleneck for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — choosing and defending a method (patent/bibliometric, causal policy evaluation, survey, case study, or mixed) appropriate to an innovation-studies claim. Sets the design; it does not execute the estimation/coding (respol-data-analysis).

When to use

• Choosing and defending a method for a Research Policy manuscript
• Patent and bibliometric quantitative design
• Causal policy evaluation design
• Survey design for firm innovation behavior
• Case study and qualitative design
• Mixed methods design with integration logic
• Defending constructs and measurement validity

When not to use

• Executing estimation or coding
• respol-data-analysis tasks
