Strong cross-border property rights drive the globalization of innovation. We show this by creating novel measures of innovation diffusion with 67 million patents from over 100 patent offices and exploiting bilateral investment treaties for identification.

Arm's-length fundraising allows traditionally underrepresented venture capital fund managers to escape the need for relying on personal networks, but introduces the need for a track record, from Sabrina T. Howell, Dean Parker, and @TingXuFinance https://t.co/Lb1oSePXo5

Here's a tale of two Olympian swimmers setting new world records.

Pan Zhanle, a Chinese male swimmer capturing the gold and new world record, beating his next competitor by 1.08 seconds. The reaction, especially Westerner, is in shock. Not because of /

Entrepreneurship PhD students: apply for the 2024 @nberpubs Entrepreneurship Research Boot Camp (week of July 15th).

My student experience 10+(!) years ago was instrumental to my career. Thanks to @NBER and @robinson_fuqua for keeping it going.

Happy 2024! The New Year is a great time to remember how fortunate many of us are & to help those who are in need. Kiev School of Econ is building something special, in a very hard spot. If you can, send a donation their way. Look forward to meeting the students in Kyiv someday!

I have long felt that universities allocate rather than defend free speech. The allocation is inversely correlated with power a group is perceived to have. Jews are viewed as powerful and thus are allocated less speech. Rungs down are Chinese. This is a terrible system!

Super frustrating how much AI policy, regs, corp behavior driven by sci-fi scenarios. There are benefits *today*. There are safety & fraud worries *today*. Work on out how best to use LLMs happening *today*. Live in the now! (& more on that class AI soon!) https://t.co/zcdN6cWQSs

1/8 It's official. The US gvt in analysis of the costs and benefits of any new regulation will now use long-run discount rates as low as 1.1%. All proposed regulation the Administration says has high costs today but high benefits in the future just got a BIG, unjusified boost.

[Kevin A. Bryan @Afinetheorem]

Great opportunity to join us up at Toronto - we're hiring a joint tenured position w/ the Economics department in Entrepreneurship. The job is at either Associate or Full, and the hire would also run the academic side of a new Center for Entrepreneurship. https://t.co/t8E7Daqplu

@joshua_t_white @StubHub @TeamStubHub @CFPB Agreed! Apparently they've been slapped by the @FTC before over its hidden fees. They should disclose "buy at your own risk" and offer a risk discount.

[Ting Xu @TingXuFinance]

It's been 2 weeks since @StubHub sold me a fake $400 ticket, no explanation or refund. Bot-like @TeamStubHub only repeats stuff from training manual. They are afraid of chargeback from CC companies, and threaten to toss your case and freeze your account if you initiate that.

[Ting Xu @TingXuFinance]

@StubHubCA @StubHub What a shameless company. FanProtect Guarantee is total bullshit.
