From 10 to 11 December 2018, the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition will organize the first junior researcher workshop:
From Science to Innovation
The goal of the workshop is to stimulate a rigorous in-depth discussion of a number of selected research papers. It offers PhD students and junior Post-docs an opportunity to present their work, receive feedback, and connect with peers from other departments. Each paper will be discussed by a discussant. The workshop will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, room E10.
Overview
The workshop will focus on the following areas:
- Economics of Science and Innovation
- Human Capital in the Science Production Function
- Financial Incentives in Science
- Corporate Strategy to Access Scientific Knowledge
- Organization of Innovation within Firms
- Knowledge Spillovers between Firms
- Legal Analysis of Knowledge Approbability
- Knowledge Appropriability in R&D Partnerships
- Big Data Ownership and Accessability
We are happy to announce Jeff Furman (Boston University & NBER) as our keynote speaker who will also provide feedback during sessions.
