Abstract Knowledge spillovers in Open Source Software (OSS) can occur via two channels: In the first channel, programmers take knowledge and experience gained from one OSS project they work on and employ it in another OSS project they work on. In the second channel, programmers reuse software code by taking code from an OSS project and employing it in another. We develop a methodology to measure software reuse in a large OSS network at the micro level and show that projects that reuse code from other projects have higher success. We also demonstrate knowledge spillovers from projects connected via common programmers.

遵循代码：溢出和知识转移

摘要开源软件（OSS）中的知识溢出可以通过两个途径发生：在第一个通道中，程序员将从他们从事的一个OSS项目中获得的知识和经验，然后将其应用到他们从事的另一个OSS项目中。在第二个通道中，程序员通过从OSS项目中获取代码并在另一个项目中使用它们来重用软件代码。我们开发了一种方法来在微观级别上测量大型OSS网络中的软件重用，并表明重用其他项目中的代码的项目取得了更高的成功。我们还将演示通过普通程序员连接的项目中的知识溢出。
