Econometric analysis in Economics of Science and Innovation often requires control groups. These control groups need to have similar observable characteristics to a sample of researchers of interest. There are specific methodologies and tools to assist Econometricians in the matching exercise. However, the identification of such a population often constitutes a daunting data effort, which may turn impossible for samples of scientists spanning multiple fields, institutions, or countries. The python package sosia – Italian for Doppelgänger – intends to simplify and automate the search for comparable researchers in the Scopus database.

The public sector creates a wide variety of material that can potentially qualify as works under copyright law – such as laws and court decisions but also brochures and information videos. The question whether this material is or should be protected by copyright has been controversial ever since. The copyright regimes of different states pursue different approaches, in this regard. The author takes current landmark decisions by the Supreme Courts of the US and Canada as an occasion to examine the subject against the background of rapid technological advancement and ongoing societal and political change.
