Bipartite incidence pattern for Patent Citations

Graph Summary

Directed citation records are used as two-way fixed-effect links.

The primary benchmark graph is built from unique (id1, id2) pairs. The figure shows a binned sparsity pattern of the bipartite incidence block, with both partitions relabeled to contiguous integer identifiers. This block is the off-diagonal part of the corresponding graph Laplacian.
