imaging is presented as a powerful method to acquire quantitative as well as qualitative information on lowdimensional materials. The method is, however, not widely used due to limitations of the Raman scanning instruments. Here we present a hyperspectral Raman system based on Bragg tunable filtering that is capable of global imaging with significantly reduced acquisition time and improved sensitivity compared to scanning confocal Raman microscopes. The operation principles of the instrument are presented, and the performance is benchmarked using a calibrated carbon nanotube sample. Examples of various applications are shown to illustrate the abilities of the technique to characterize samples deposited on oxidized silicon substrates, including graphene stacks prepared by chemical-vapor deposition, exfoliated MoS 2 , and carbon nanotubes filled with dye molecules. The wealth of information available through this hyperspectral Raman imaging technique opens many new ways to probe the properties of complex low-dimensional materials.

Executive SummaryA long theoretical literature has analyzed optimal patent policy design, yet there is very little empirical evidence on a key parameter needed to apply these models in practice: the relationship between patent strength and research investments. I argue that the dearth of empirical evidence on this question reflects two key challenges: the difficulty of measuring specific research investments and the fact that finding variation in patent protection is difficult. I then summarize the findings of two recent studies that have made progress in starting to overcome these empirical challenges by combining new data sets measuring biomedical research investments with novel sources of variation in the effective intellectual property protection provided to different inventions. The first study, Budish, Roin, and Williams (2015a), documents evidence consistent with patents affecting the rate and direction of research investments in the context of cancer drug development. The second study, Williams (2013), documents evidence that one form of intellectual property rights on the human genome had quantitatively important impacts on follow-on scientific research and commercial development. I discuss the relevance of both studies for patent policy and discuss directions for future research.

“…The benefits and costs of different IP solutions depend on a complex array of innovation policies and social factors, such as R&D tax credits, governmental research grants, regulations, contracts, education, or social norms. Thus, the social and economic implications have largely remained elusive, despite much theoretical work and empirical correlations . A way to deal with these issues could be to complement the largely reflection‐ and anticipation‐based approach to responsibility by experimentation.…”

“…Experimentation here is not only meant to explore new ways to include stakeholders or the public, but also additional laboratory or social experiments on IP. Laboratory “experiments” that evaluate the performance and behavior of participants in games or tasks have become a valuable tool in recent years, for instance, to identify factors that affect creativity or licensing, or to develop alternative IP schemes . Randomized “real‐world” experiments are a reasonable tool to evaluate alternative policy options in specific contexts.…”

“…Randomized “real‐world” experiments are a reasonable tool to evaluate alternative policy options in specific contexts. For example, it has been proposed to use such experiments to improve orphan drug incentives by testing alternative schemes with minor variations in the length of market exclusivity rights and tax credit rates . Such experimentation could add an additional “dimension of responsibility” to the process of finding IP and open‐source schemes.…”
