The MSI 2024 took place from 22 to 24 May 2024 with around 100 participants on the premises of the Munich Residence. It was preceded by the third MSI Ph.D. Workshop on 21 May 2024.
This year’s program of the main conference comprised two keynote lectures, 17 plenary presentations and a daily poster session, including a poster slam. The first conference day, which as co-organized by Tobias Kretschmer (LMU), Christian Peukert (HEC Lausanne), and Imke Reimers (Cornell University), focused on Platforms, AI Adoption and Personalization.
Chaired by Dietmar Harhoff, Joachim Henkel (TUM), and Hanna Hottenrott (TUM), the presentations of the second conference day related to Patents, Gender, Talent & Geography. Tim Simcoe, Professor at the Boston University Questrom School of Business, gave a keynote lecture on “Long Con or Righteous Claim? A Policy Debate over Patent Prosecution”. As a cherished MSI tradition, the second day was concluded with a hearty dinner in a typically Bavarian restaurant.
The third and final conference day – chaired by Stefan Bechtold (ETH Zurich), Christian Peukert (HEC Lausanne), and Imke Reimers (Cornell University) – covered a broad range of topics related to intellectual property, in particular Patents, Copyright, and Franchising Contracts. Christopher Buccafusco, Edward & Ellen Schwarzman Distinguished Professor of Law at Duke University, gave a keynote presentation on “Beyond Supply-Side Innovation Incentives”, arguing to look at incentive mechanisms that affect the demand for products, rather than the supply of products. Lennert Peede (IAB) was awarded the MSI Ph.D. Workshop’s Best Paper Award for his paper on “Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Skills Demand and Employment: Evidence from Linked Job Ads Data”.
