Digital Dark Matter and the Economic Contribution of Apache
Greenstein, Shane - 2013

Management of knowledge workers
Hvide, Hans K.; Kristiansen, Eirik Gaard - 2012
We study how firm-specific complementary assets and intellectual property rights affect the management of knowledge workers. The main results show when a firm will wish to sue workers that leave with innovative ideas, and the effects of complementary assets on wages and on worker initiative. We...

In this paper we study theoretically and empirically the role of the interaction between skilled migration and intellectual property rights (IPRs) protection in determining innovation in developing countries (South). We show that although emigration from the South may directly result in the...
