Undergraduate gender diversity and the direction of scientific research
Truffa, Francesca; Wong, Ashley - 2024
Can diversity lead to greater research focus on populations underrepresented in science? Between 1960 and 1990, 76 all-male US universities transitioned to coeducation. Using a generalized difference-in-differences design, we find that coeducation led to a 44% increase in gender-related research...

Endogeneous Matching in University-Industry Collaboration: Theory and Empirical Evidence from the UK
Banal-Estañol, Albert; Macho-Stadler, Inés; … - 2013
We develop a two-sided matching model to analyze collaboration between heterogeneous academics and firms. We predict a positive assortative matching in terms of both scientific ability and affinity for type of research, but negative assortative in terms of ability on one side and affinity in the...

Are ex ante and ex post licensing agreements useful instruments to lessen uncertainty in R&D?
Siebert, Ralph - 2013
In the last decades, technologies became more complex which increased the degree of uncertainty in R&D. To overcome the uncertainty, firms frequently engage in R&D collaborations, e.g., Research Joint Ventures (RJVs), and licensing agreements. While RJVs are well explored in the literature, very...

Cross-ownership, R&D spillovers, and antitrust policy
López, Angel L.; Vives, Xavier - 2016
This paper considers cost-reducing R&D investment with spillovers in a Cournot oligopoly with minority shareholdings. We find that, with high market concentration and sufficiently convex demand, there is no scope for cross-ownership to improve welfare regardless of spillover levels. Otherwise,...

R&D and production behavior of asymmetric duopoly subject to knowledge spillovers
Plasmans, Joseph E. J. - 2000
We construct an asymmetri c duopolistic R&D and production behavior model subject to knowledge spillovers. This model is an extension to the symmetric model of d'Aspremont and Jacquemin (A&J (1988)) and aims to determine the cooperative and non-cooperative R&D strategies for two agents of...
