I don't if there is much research on it, but I do know a guy who lives and works (he is part of an outfitting group) in one of the thickest grizzly areas in the Lower 48, and he carries an airhorn, not a gun or spray.
It's not going to be much of a defense in the event of a charge, though. Instead, it would be effective to announce your presence where surprise encounters are likely.
