##Measures: M&A, spinoffs, patents, etc.
###A note: these can be taken from Will's project
 
==General data we need to proceed==
*Patent data - knowledge of what we have & what we're looking for in the data
*M&As by year and industry (# and $) (do we pull this from SDC?)
*Spinoffs by year and industry (# and $) (do we pull this from SDC?)
*How to do industry classifications
**Did some work on this last semester but might want to revisit
*limiting the data to companies in the S&P 500? Or no?
 
==Skills we probably need to proceed==
*SQL technical skills - probably know basics but it might be good to know general ways we can manipulate the data once we get it
*COMPUSTAT, SDC for companies' industry groups
 
==Timeline==
*Should start off with a lit review
=Fall 2016=
