A framework to understand which innovations call for an Operation Warp Speed-style mission and identify key design features contributing to the program's success, from Arielle D'Souza, Kendall Hoyt, Christopher M. Snyder, and Alec Stapp nber.org/papers/w32831

Also I still owe him a paper!!

I keep asking Claude about empirical evidence of the effect of automation on labor markets in the early 20th century. It suggests telephone operators as the best example (hooray). But it credits someone else (boo) but that someone else is Claudia Goldin (I'll take it)

Today on Forked Lightning - what do steam power and generative AI have in common? daviddeming.com/forked-lightni… Like steam, gen AI foreshadows big changes, but we probably need complementary innovation to unlock productivity growth in white collar jobs.

Being an organizational economist in a strategy department, I am often puzzled by the little interaction that exists between these two fields. A new blog post written with a great group of colleagues to argue for more strategy in org econ, and viceversa cepr.org/voxeu/columns/…

Nope. This paper is about US academics 1900-1960! The present looks different. Asking people to stop drawing inference from these stats as if they're about the present & asking authors to put time period in their title and abstract! 🙏

Great as always from Daniel P. Gross and Bhaven. A friend was joking this week that their work shows so much innovation benefit across sectors from WW2 that the war is dangerously close to a net welfare benefit! Also see the correct point on linear model (more on this soon!)

The US WW2 medical research and development effort catalyzed postwar science, modernized drug discovery, and fueled the postwar National Institutes of Health — reshaping biomedical innovation for decades, from Daniel P. Gross and Bhaven N. Sampat nber.org/papers/w33457

Reviewing the history of US indirect cost recovery policy, presenting new data on indirect cost recovery rates, modeling the effects of a 15 percent cap at the NIH, and evaluating tradeoffs across reform options, from Pierre Azoulay, Daniel P. Gross, and Bhaven N. Sampat

📑New data, old debates: US government-funded R&D and patent policy Daniel P. Gross and Bhaven Sampat examine a dataset of US government-funded R&D patent records and analyse long-run patterns in US patent policy. ow.ly/IFjI50VHMjF #WorldIPDay

New NBER working paper on the production of U.S. PhDs in science and emerging tech fields from Daniel P. Gross & colleagues nber.org/papers/w33944

We mapped who supports US STEM PhDs. Fed govt by far the main funder, esp in science for critical tech like AI and quantum. Less govt funding -> fewer graduates. Further details: drorshvadron.com/research/docto… Joint with Hansen Zhang, Lee Fleming and Daniel P. Gross
