This dissertation investigates important and cutting-edge issues surrounding new product development failure and its consequences for market values of innovation-driven firms. Although a substantial body of literature demonstrates that new product development failure harms some companies more...

These are the presentation slides for the paper "Innovative Efficiency and Stock Returns". The abstract of the paper is the following: We find that innovative efficiency (IE), patents or citations scaled by research and development expenditures, is a strong positive predictor of future returns...
