DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Following the Code: Spillovers and 
 Knowledge Transfer</strong> (with Peter Naftaliev and Uriel Stettner)</p><p
  style="text-align: justify;">Abstract:<br /> It is believed that there are
  significant knowledge spillovers in Open Source Software (OSS). If such sp
 illovers exist, it is likely they occur via two channels: In the first chan
 nel, programmers take knowledge know-how, and experience gained from one OS
 S project they work on and employ it in another OSS project they work on. I
 n the second, programmers reuse software code by taking code from one OSS p
 roject and employ it in another OSS project. In previous work, we found kno
 wledge spillovers via the first channel. Focusing on the second channel, in
  this paper we develop a methodology to measure software reuse at the micro
 -micro level in a large OSS network. We then examine whether there are (spi
 llover) benefits from software reuse. Finally, we examine which factors exp
 lain software reuse. Key findings involving software include the following:
 </p><p style="text-align: justify;">• Controlling for other factors that ex
 plain success, projects that reuse code from a greater number of projects h
 ave higher success.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">• Controlling for ot
 her factors that explain whether a project reuses code from other projects,
  younger projects are more likely to reuse code than older projects, while 
 older projects are more likely to have their code reused.</p>
