The Effect of Health on Income: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Commuting Accidents

Halla, Martin; Zweimüller, Martina - 2011

This paper interprets accidents occurring on the way to and from work as negative health shocks to identify the causal effect of health on labor market outcomes. We argue that in our sample of exactly matched treated and control workers, these health shocks are quasi-randomly assigned. A...

Killer acquisitions and beyond: Policy effects on innovation strategies

Letina, Igor; Schmutzler, Armin; Seibel, Regina - 2020

This paper provides a theory of strategic innovation project choice by incumbents and start-ups. We show that … prohibiting killer acquisitions strictly reduces the variety of innovation projects. By contrast, we find that prohibiting other … acquisitions only has a weakly negative innovation effect, and we provide conditions under which the effect is zero. Furthermore …
