Climate change will further increase not only the frequency but also the intensity of extreme weather events. As a result, weather conditions favouring pneumonia occurrence - suddenly warmer weather during cold seasons - can increase due to higher meteorological variability which is also linked...

The paper studies the patent productivity of scientists over their life cycle. The incentives for patenting and for publishing are compared and how they shape life cycle productivity. In most empirical studies, publication productivity decreases at the end of the scientific career. In contrast,...

The dynamics of drug launch has been an under-researched area. Most of the studies in this field focus on developed countries, quite uniform in terms of disease profile and regulatory framework, and analyse whether stringency in regulation influences launch delay. Developing countries, in...

Collaboration over distance is difficult to maintain in innovation projects which require a great deal of regional collaboration. However, patent documents reveal that a number of inventor teams are able to overcome long distances. Earlier literature started to investigate factors, which...

Economic factors and individual attitudes have an impact on the mobility of university graduates. At this point of the life, mobility is highest, but still little is known about the process leading to actually starting a job at a certain place. The paper at hand investigates the job search...
