I'm thrilled to see innovation cited as one of the key reasons behind the FTC's vote to ban non-compete agreements earlier today. It's inspiring to see research impacting policy -- and I'm honored to see my WP with @EmmaJRockall discussed alongside other exciting academic work.

Together, these findings suggest a potentially important role for worker mobility in knowledge diffusion and innovation.

New update to our working paper from May available: 'Protect or Prevent? Non-Compete Agreements and Innovation': https://t.co/VcS2dfUokL

We show (i) increases in non-compete enforceability lead to declines in state-level innovation; and (ii) that these declines in innovation also coincide with falls in inventor mobility.
