Technological improvement rates of digital and non-digital technologies across industries. Notes: 1757 different improvement rates from Singh et al. (2021) are assigned to USPTO patents of the filing years 2010–2015. This results in a total of 283’431 USPTO patents. Patents are then split into the digital or non-digital group based on the approach proposed by Inaba and Squicciarini (2017) and assigned to industries according to De Rassenfosse et al. (2014). The horizontal line shows the median, the big dot the mean, the upper limit of the box the 25th, and the lower limit the 75th percentile. The length of the whisker shows the data that are within 1.5 times the interquartile range. Compared to Fig. 1, we do not show outliers to increase clarity
