摘要:Research Summary Organizations have become increasingly ethnically diverse, and this diversity often brings together distinct technological competencies. Understanding how firms can leverage such diversity to produce valuable innovations therefore becomes essential. This study investigates how ethnic integration within inventor collaboration networks, and its interaction with ethnic diversity, influence the economic value of innovation. Using patent and co-inventor data from 890 publicly trade...

摘要:Research Summary We examine variation in high-technology startups' performance based on founders' pre-entry experiences by developing a formal model and using confidential employee-employer linked microdata from the United States to examine the empirical consistency of the model propositions. The model posits that relative to insiders, a lack of industry-specific experience creates greater epistemic uncertainty regarding optimal business models at time of entry for outsiders and thus, higher p...

摘要:Research Summary Social responsibility-oriented (SRO) employers are widely understood to enjoy advantages in recruitment and hiring, yet most evidence comes from temporary or hypothetical employment contexts. We test for such advantages using microdata on a structured recruitment process in which startups hired full-time employees. We find that SRO employers attract greater initial interest, especially among female candidates, and are more likely to have their job offers accepted. Among candid...

摘要:Research Summary The conventional wisdom both in research and in practice is that entrepreneurs need co-founders, as they bring crucial resources to new ventures. Yet, this same work also suggests that co-founders introduce destructive conflict, potentially creating as many problems as they solve. Surprisingly, little work examines the counterfactual-that is, the conditions under which solo-founding is a viable approach. In this paper, we address this gap. We perform two studies; one using dat...

摘要:Research Summary CEO dismissal is a high-stakes governance decision, yet its implications for corporate reputations remain underexplored. We develop theory explaining how dismissals damage corporate reputation through perceptual processes that arise from features of and reactions to the practice itself, distinct from effects attributable to dismissal's (much studied) economic and strategic consequences. Drawing on expectancy violation theory, we argue that dismissals become salient and generat...

摘要:Research Summary Academic spin-off (ASO) performance has been studied in relation to either specific university-level or regional-level characteristics. However, ASOs originate from universities, which are embedded in regional ecosystems. This nested structure can create an attribution problem when either level is studied in isolation. Consequently, the relative importance of these two different levels for ASO performance has remained ambiguous. To address this ambiguity, we rely on multi-leve...

摘要:Research Summary Digital platforms provide arenas for global knowledge diffusion, but their underlying architecture often relies on synchronous exchange, inadvertently siloing users into distinct time pockets based on time zones. Using proprietary data from StackOverflow, we implement a regression discontinuity design to causally estimate that a 1-h increase (decrease) in the temporal distance between two regions leads to a 13.6% decrease (9.5% increase) in views and a 20.9% decrease (21.0% in...
