Biblatex: include bbl, problem with "verb" field
The problematic part should be in some external file. So use the filecontents-environment to create it:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{testinput-bbl.bbl}
\refsection{0}
\sortlist{entry}{nty}
\entry{Agarwal2007}{article}{}
\verb{doi}
\verb 10.2139/ssrn.943524
\endverb
\endentry
\endsortlist
\endrefsection
\end{filecontents}
%-------------- start insert modified commands ------------------
\makeatletter
\def\blx@bblfile@biber{%
\blx@secinit
\begingroup
\blx@bblstart
\input{testinput-bbl.bbl}%<------------
\blx@bblend
\endgroup
\csnumgdef{blx@labelnumber@\the\c@refsection}{0}}
\makeatother
%-------------- end insert modified commands --------------
\begin{document}
Some words \cite{Agarwal2007}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Edit April 2017
Due to changes in biblatex the redefinition of \blx@bblfile@biber
no longer work as the command doesn't exist anymore. The following is a replacement. It should also work with older biblatex. It also will issue a warning if the content of the bbl doesn't fit the biblatex version.
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
%Use the starred version of filecontents to avoid comments in the written file
%Insert the complete bbl in the environment including the starting comments!
\begin{filecontents*}{testinput-bbl.bbl}
% $ biblatex auxiliary file $
% $ biblatex bbl format version 2.8 $
% Do not modify the above lines!
%
% This is an auxiliary file used by the 'biblatex' package.
% This file may safely be deleted. It will be recreated by
% biber as required.
