@itamarcaspi @OSorenson I don’t know if the translation did justice to your summary, but I still enjoyed reading the thread. Thank you!

@yingli66 @OSorenson Thanks Ying :)

[Doris Kwon @doriskwon_dk]

Thrilled to have my first publication, thanks to the world’s best advisor @OSorenson

[Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice @ETPjournal]

Silicon Valley and its model of tech entrepreneurship also has a dark side: Home prices have risen out of reach of most; the cost of doing business there has climbed; and the dynamism of the regional economy has been declining.

@PedroMakhoul @OSorenson Thanks Pedro!

[Olav Sorenson @OSorenson]

Happy to see this one with @doriskwon_dk in press.

Venture capital boosts local growth but also causes a strain of the Dutch Disease (a gas boom in the Netherlands collapsed other industries). VC 💰 in an region leads to decreases in non-tech industries, growth in restaurants/service & bigger income gaps. https://t.co/QugRFdfoPR

[UCLA Anderson Review @AndersonReview]

In @OSorenson (@uclaanderson) & @doriskwon_dk's (@YaleSOM) latest research, they find that a venture capital influx increases the number of businesses & jobs, but it doesn't change fortunes evenly for workers & businesses.

As life in New Haven has ground to a halt, so has revenue for local businesses. To help Elm City establishments weather the crisis, city and state partners have established an economic resiliency program with loans, grants and programming. https://t.co/n1jW9HWOXh

@EuniceHEun Had a man point his finger at me and ask “where are you from, are you from China” followed by a dismissive “go back to where you’re from”. Trying to tell myself that this isn’t representative of the country. Really shook me though.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today’s declaration of a #COVID19 pandemic is a call to action – for everyone, everywhere.

It’s also a call for responsibility & solidarity – as nations united and as people united.

As we fight the virus, we cannot let fear go viral.

Let’s overcome this common threat together.

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

If we want to understand how powerful an opponent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is, let’s take a look what has been required to stop it in China. The Chinese government has essentially used a social nuclear weapon in its efforts. Let’s talk about this, to understand what US is facing. 1/

South Korea's #Covid19 Monday numbers aren't up yet but I just looked at yesterday's (+248 cases & 1 death). It contains a very cool graph that shows the trajectory of their outbreak. It's impressive. They've been aggressive, and it's paying off.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Out of the nearly 300 unicorn startups in the U.S., only 18% were focused on health, food, education, energy, financial services, or housing. Many more leading start-ups in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia target basic human needs. https://t.co/KB8GOFbJgC

[Rob Seamans @robseamans]

Agree. Great article.

“We predict that the peak of the impact of Covid-19 on global supply chains will occur in mid-March, forcing thousands of companies to throttle down or temporarily shut assembly and manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Europe.”

There’s a lot to like about the national chains setting up shop in small and midsize markets, write Chang-Tai Hsieh and @HansbergRossi https://t.co/6kUANIToN6

Important corrective research that formalizes a range of impacts of techhub/ tech booms @friedema @OxfordECentre @mggrim @paulosavaget. Thank you, @OSorenson @doriskwon_dk @yaleSOM @dongips

[Yale Insights @YaleInsights]

Every #TechHub wants to be the next #SiliconValley. Research from @YaleSOM's @OSorenson and Doris Kwon offers reasons to be wary. Tech boom upsides come with downsides including greater #inequality and harm to other industries. https://t.co/0H19xdLYrV #EconomicDevelopment
