The impact of international students and skilled immigration in the United States on innovative activity is estimated using a model of idea generation. In the main specification a system of three equations is estimated, where dependent variables are total patent applications, patents awarded to...

The effects of skyscraper development on surrounding firms' innovation in China is assessed in this paper, and empirical results show that skyscraper development significantly promotes the innovation of firms within 1 ​km of skyscrapers. However, such effect only exists around very tall...

This paper provides empirical evidence on the role of university spatial expansion in local innovation activities in the context of new campus construction in China. By treating the spatial expansion of the university as a quasi-experiment, we construct a unique geocoded dataset linking...
