In this paper, I study how patients act as carriers of clinical...
Der englische Originaltitel des Seminars lautet: “Inventors‘ Personal Experience of Natural Disasters and Green Innovation". Die Präsentation findet auf Englisch statt. Eine kurze Zusammenfassung zum Vortrag ist nur auf der englischen Veranstaltungsseite verfügbar!
We show that personal experiences affect high-stakes economic decisions among inventors. Using matched patent and survey data from French and German inventors linked to natural disaster records, we exploit exogenous variation in disaster exposure.
