SUMMARY:Green Technological Diversification: The Role of International Linkages in Leader and Follower Countries
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. 	Speaker: Andrea Morrison\, Associate Professor of Applied Economics at the Department of Political and Social Sciences\, University of Pavia	 			Abstract: To achieve a more environmentally sustainable economy\, countries must diversify their innovation efforts towards green technologies. Technological diversification is understood as a path-dependent process constrained by endogenous (local) capabilities. In this context\, the increasing global connectivity and the internationalization of innovative activity makes the role of external knowledge linkages more and more relevant.  This paper investigates the process of green technological diversification in 49 countries over a 40-year time span\, aiming at unveiling the role of external linkages\, as proxied by co-inventor collaborations. Results show that international co-inventor linkages among countries with complementary capabilities support green diversification. On the other hand\, the existence of linkages per se facilitates does not affect diversification.				 				This seminar will take place via Zoom. Please register in advance.				 				About the speaker: Andrea Morrison is currently Associate Professor of Applied Economics at the Department of Political and Social Sciences\, University of Pavia and Adjunct Professor of Innovation and Sustainability at the Department of Management and Technology\, Bocconi University. He is also research fellow at ICRIOS Bocconi University. He holds a M.A in Development Economics from the University of Sussex and a Ph.D. in Economic Development\, Institutions and Sustainability from the University of Roma Tre. His research interests lie in the areas of evolutionary economics\, innovation studies and economic geography. He has investigated extensively topics like system of innovation\, industrial clusters and knowledge networks\, global value chain\, green innovation\, high skilled migration.

SUMMARY:Firm-Level Production Networks: What Do We (Really) Know?
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. 	  	Speaker: François Lafond  	  	Abstract: Firm-level datasets on production networks are often confidential and arise from different data collection methods\, making it difficult to determine stylized facts. Are standard network properties similar across all available datasets\, and if not\, why? We provide benchmark results from two administrative data sets (Ecuador and Hungary) which are exceptional in that there are no reporting thresholds. We compare these networks to a leading commercial data set (FactSet)\, and a systematic synthesis of published results. The administrative data sets with no reporting thresholds have remarkably similar properties\, but differ substantially from non-administrative sources\, or from administrative datasets with higher reporting thresholds. Our results provide a roadmap for a distributed micro-data project\, offer insights into the direction of biases on key metrics when using partial datasets\, and have wide implications for reconstructing the global firm-level production network and for modelling heterogeneity in macro. (Joint work with Andrea Bacilieri\, András Borsos\, and Pablo Astudillo-Estevez). 	  	The seminar will be on Zoom. The link to the registration page is: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/640145716?pwd=bTUxOXRad0o2ZTJtbWRxTGpta1BlQT09 	  	About the Speaker: François Lafond is deputy director of the Complexity Economics group at the Institute for New Economic Thinking\, University of Oxford\, and an associate member of Nuffield college\, Oxford. His main areas of research are in the economics of innovation and productivity\, environmental economics\, networks and complex systems\, applied econometrics and forecasting.
