SUMMARY:Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Targeting Place-Based Policies for Canada's Low-Carbon Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Jacob Greenspon will present his paper “Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Targeting Place-Based Policies for Canada’s Low-Carbon Transformation.” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jacob Greenspon\, Doctoral candidate in Economics\, University of Oxford and Research Manager\, HKS Reimagining the Economy Project \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: Negative labour demand shocks are often regionally concentrated. Policies that address their impacts are most effective and efficient when tailored to local circumstances. Using newly- assembled data on Canadian communities’ economic challenges and opportunities\, I analyze place-based policy targeting in response to workforce disruptions from GHG reductions. I first motivate and outline the goals of policies that aim to address local labour demand shocks. I next characterize the Canadian communities with workforces susceptible to GHG reduction efforts. I then analyze the suitability in each community of three broad policy responses based on regional characteristics and insights from prior literature. First\, to guide provision of income supports for early retirees\, I document large differences in the age profiles of susceptible local workforces. Second\, I argue retraining programs are most suitable for susceptible workers that have strong job transition opportunities and\, based on a newly-developed measure\, estimate substantial variation in the proportion of these workers across susceptible communities. Third\, I analyze nine domains related to challenges and opportunities for local job creation: high-speed broadband access; physical infrastructure; small business services and financing; higher-education attainment; childcare and housing availability; renewable energy generation; critical minerals production; and publicly-funded research. I assess the relative priority of interventions in each domain and identify four clusters of susceptible communities with similar priorities. I conclude with a discussion of how these results can be incorporated into collaborative federal and local policymaking processes. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:Training in the Age of AI: A Theory of Career Viability
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Luis Garicano will present his paper “Training in the Age of AI: A Theory of Career Viability.” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Luis Garicano\, Professor of Public Policy\, London School of Economics \n\n\n\nAuthors: Luis Garicano & Luis Rayo \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: Across the economy\, juniors pay for training by doing menial tasks. Al now performs an increasing share of that work\, putting the bargain at risk. We introduce Al into a dynamic career model with an automation threshold and possible complementarity for experts. The expertise leverage ratio\, measuring the output of a fully-trained graduate relative to that of a novice who has just enough knowledge to outperform Al\, governs the overall impact of the technology. Our central result is that careers are guaranteed viable\, in the sense that they are at least as profitable as they were before the arrival of Al\, when this ratio is above a critical threshold\, specifically Euler’s number e; in this case\, training has a fixed duration and the training path is not at risk. Below the threshold\, the senior’s sale-able knowledge shrinks and training compresses; in this case\, advances in Al threaten wholesale career collapse. \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:Who Captures Knowledge Spillovers? Academic Mobility and the Geography of Scientific Inequality
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Frank van der Wouden will present his paper\, co-authored by Zixuan Zhang\, “Who Captures Knowledge Spillovers? Academic Mobility and the Geography of Scientific Inequality.” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Frank van der Wouden\, Assistant Professor of Economic Geography and Innovation Studies \n\n\n\nAuthors: Frank van der Wouden and Zixuan Zhang \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: Does physical proximity still shape the flow of scientific ideas? And if it does\, who captures the spillovers? Using a matched panel of 52\,878 scholars tracked through OpenAlex from 1975 to 2024\, we estimate a heterogeneity-robust staggered difference-in-differences model with Coarsening Exact Matching on pre-move productivity and networks. When a scholar relocates\, the destination city’s share of their new-audience citations rises by 6.6 percentage points (SE = 0.002; p < 10⁻¹⁶). The probability that any previously unconnected local researcher cites them jumps by 24 percentage points. The effect is immediate\, persistent and survives a large number of robustness checks. Three findings stand out. First\, co-location redirects rather than creates scholarly attention. Total new-audience citations do not rise\, while non-destination citations fall. Second\, the citation boost also happens to papers the scholar had already written before moving (+0.24 pp; p < 10⁻⁵). This suggests that pure talent sorting is not driving this effect\, since what is on the page cannot change with the scholar’s address. Third\, the effect is markedly larger where the destination hosts more scholars in the mover’s own subfield and in elite academic hubs (ATT = 0.088 in Top-40 cities vs. 0.047 elsewhere). These findings have implications for academic recruitment and science policy. Hiring functions as a mechanism through which local communities gain access to a scholar’s existing knowledge. The returns do not depend on recruiting only the most elite. Yet\, because top academic hubs both capture larger spillovers per hire and absorb most mobile scholars\, the current pattern of academic hiring may deepen the gap between leading and peripheral cities. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Professor Frank van der Wouden is an Assistant Professor of Economic Geography and Innovation Studies at The University of Hong Kong. His work uses large-scale patent\, publication and mobility data to uncover how innovation travels across cities\, teams and individuals. He holds a PhD from UCLA and did a post-doctoral training at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.” \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:Tradability and Goods' Prices: A Tale of Two Regions
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research seminar\, Joseba Martinez\, Assistant Professor of Economics at London Business School and a CEPR Research Affiliate\, will discuss his paper “Tradability and Goods’ Prices: A Tale of Two Regions.” \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract \n\n\n\nWe provide new evidence on manufacturing price inflation and the allocation of productivity gains by comparing US and EU industries from 1992 to 2017. Two patterns emerge. In tradable industries\, where global competition is strong\, prices have moved in lockstep across the Atlantic. In non-tradable industries\, relatively sheltered from foreign competition\, value-added deflators in the US have risen about four times faster than in Europe despite similar wages and industry compositions. The inflation differential is unrelated to compositional shifts\, and evident in narrowly defined product categories where unobserved quality differences are unlikely to matter. A decomposition attributes one-third of the differential to rising market power and two-thirds to slower productivity growth in US non-tradable manufacturing industries\, a pattern absent in tradable ones. Using variation in import penetration\, we find that greater trade exposure lowers prices and profit shares\, while competition policy remains crucial in non-tradable industries. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio \n\n\n\nJoseba Martinez is an Assistant Professor of Economics at London Business School and a CEPR Research Affiliate. His research studies how technology shapes productivity\, growth\, and the response of the economy to policy\, and how information asymmetry in financial markets affects investment and growth. Recent work examines the cost of the green energy transition when fossil-fuel-dependent capital cannot be easily repurposed\, the financial-market valuation of firms exposed to that transition\, the role of government-funded innovation in sustaining postwar U.S. growth\, the macroeconomic effects of fiscal policy\, and the labour-market consequences of automation and AI. He has also developed natural-language methods on patent data to measure technical change and link it to aggregate productivity. His published research\, in Review of Economic Studies\, Journal of International Economics\, AEJ: Macroeconomics\, examines the design of bank stress tests\, capital-market integration in monetary unions\, and the role of technology diffusion and R&D in shaping business cycle dynamics. He teaches Macroeconomics to MBA and EMBA students and PhD Macroeconomics to doctoral candidates at London Business School. Beyond his academic role\, he has consulted for a New York-based investment fund and served as a visiting scholar at the International Monetary Fund. Dr Martinez brings substantial professional experience to his academic work. Before beginning his PhD\, he worked as a trader at ABN AMRO London and held the position of senior manager at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development\, where he developed expertise in financial markets that informs his current research and teaching. \n\n\n\nThe speaker will be virtual\, but you may join us in-person for a viewing in the Perkins Room (R-429). Whether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:The Indian Innovation Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share\n	\n  \n  \n    \n  \n  \n  \n  \n    \n  \n  \n  \n    \n  \n  \n  \n  \n    \n  \n  \n  \n  \n    \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Josh Lerner will present his paper\, co-authored by Namrata Kala and Junxi Liu “The Indian Innovation Puzzle.” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Josh Lerner\, Jacob H. Schiff Professor at Harvard Business School and Co-Director of the HBS Private Capital Project.  \n\n\n\nCo-Authors: Namrata Kala (MIT Sloan School of Management) and Junxi Liu (University of Warwick) \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: Despite recent increases in some measures of innovation\, India continues to have very modest levels of domestic patenting\, contradicting standard views of the importance of property rights in economic development. Using a novel\, newly constructed dataset of Indian patent grants\, we explore why Indian patenting has been so low. We examine whether an absence of non-patented innovation\, differences in industry composition and public attitudes\, and a lack of public market reactions to patent awards can explain these differences\, and find only modest support for these explanations. We then show evidence of an institutional quality mechanism\, i.e.\, long delays in patent examination. We estimate the causal effects of reduced delays using a natural experiment. Specifically\, we show that a 2016 reform by IP India (the patent office) increased examination speeds for technology-office pairs that gained access to more same-field examiner capacity. In response\, the mixture of applicants shifted away from applicants with very low success rates and towards high-quality filers. This improved institutional capacity also enhanced other innovation outcomes\, boosting the financing of venture capital-backed firms. But the magnitude of these effects was modest\, closing just over one-tenth the patenting gap between India and other leading nations. This modest effect may reflect the implementation of the reform (a back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that high-quality patenting could have been increased by an additional 9 to 31 percent)\, as well as the uncertainty surrounding patent litigation. These results underscore the importance of institutional quality in facilitating innovation. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Josh Lerner is the Jacob H. Schiff Professor at Harvard Business School and Co-Director of the HBS Private Capital Project. Much of his research focuses on venture capital and private equity organizations and innovation policy. He has been recently recognized as among the forty most influential economists worldwide by ScholarGPS and research.com. \n\n\n\nHe has co-directed the National Bureau of Economic Research’s Productivity\, Innovation\, and Entrepreneurship Program since 2010 and serves as co-editor of their publication\, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy and the Economy. He founded and runs the Private Capital Research Institute\, a nonprofit devoted to encouraging access to data and research and has been a frequent leader of and participant in the World Economic Forum projects and events. \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development

SUMMARY:Why Europe’s AI Talent Strategy Needs a Local Layer
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Casey Weston will present his paper “The Talent Will Not Be Centralized: Why Europe’s AI Talent Strategy Needs a Local Layer.” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Casey Weston\, Senior Manager\, Public Policy and Economic Graph at LinkedIn \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: Europe’s AI competitiveness debate is conducted largely at the national and EU level\, yet the AI engineering talent it depends upon develops and moves locally. Using LinkedIn data on AI Engineering Talent concentration\, growth\, and migration across 202 European market areas\, this note assesses where and how local AI talent ecosystems form across the EU\, and the extent to which that clustering may align with national AI talent strategies. At the local level\, we observe three methods through which cities accumulate AI talent: cultivating it through research infrastructure (e.g. Braga)\, attracting it through favorable national migration policy and dense employment opportunities (e.g. Munich\, Barcelona)\, and/or retaining it against wage and tax competition from higher-cost neighbors (e.g. Brno\, Wrocław). We find that the resulting AI ecosystems may or may not align with national strategic intentions: Poland’s domestic capacity-building strategy successfully generated broad-based local momentum\, but France’s research strength has not translated into comparable local growth\, and Czechia’s struggles to convert local demand into compounding hubs for its robust talent pipeline. We conclude that while EU and national AI infrastructure investments may be necessary for AI sovereignty\, they are insufficient to realize the desired economic returns from the AI transition; converting these investments into durable economic benefit requires deliberately paired localized talent strategies. \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:From Disaster to Discovery: The Regional Scientific Response to Katrina Hurricane Season
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar\, Salvatore Viola will present his paper “From Disaster to Discovery: The Regional Scientific Response to Katrina Hurricane Season.” The paper is co-authored by Ernest Miguelez and Rosina Moreno. \n\n\n\nPaper Abstract: This paper investigates how natural disasters shape the direction of science. Treating the 2005 U.S. hurricane season\, and Hurricane Katrina in particular\, as an exogenous shock\, we estimate its effects on regional scientific output and on specialization in hurricane- and climate change-related research. We assign OpenAlex publication data to U.S. Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) and identify affected regions using housing damage reports. Difference-in-differences estimates show that affected regions were 14.9 percentage points more likely to specialize in hurricane-related research. This effect persisted for around six years post-disaster and occurred despite muted effects in climate change-related science and an overall decline in scientific output. Exploratory analyses suggest the effect was stronger in regions with higher pre-disaster relatedness density\, and that collaborations between affected and unaffected regions helped support scientific activity in affected areas. Our findings offer new evidence on the directional response of science to climate-related natural disasters. They also suggest that building research capacity around specific regional vulnerabilities\, supported by sustained funding\, may strengthen regional scientific resilience. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Salvatore Viola\, PhD student in Economics at the University of Barcelona \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Salvatore Viola is a PhD student in Economics at the University of Barcelona\, where he is affiliated with the Regional Quantitative Analysis Group (AQR-IREA). He works under the supervision of Rosina Moreno and Ernest Miguélez. His research interests include the geography of innovation\, the economics of science\, and high-skilled migration. His current work examines how migrant inventors spur regional diversification into green technologies and how natural disasters influence the direction of scientific research. He holds a BA in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and an MSc in Economics from the University of Barcelona. \n\n\n\nWhether attending in person or virtually\, please register in advance. \n\n\n\nThe Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share

SUMMARY:The Effects of U.S. Public R&D on Global Growth
DESCRIPTION:Academic Research Seminars Hybrid\n\n\nIn this Academic Research Seminar Ishan Nath will discuss his paper “The Effects of U.S. Public R&D on Global Growth” co-authored with Gustavo De Souza\, Andrew Fieldhouse\, Karel Mertens\, and Valerie Ramey. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Ishan Nath\, Assistant Professor of Public Policy\, Faculty Associate of the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability \n\n\n\nAbstract: This paper provides the first causal estimates of the global social returns to U.S. public R&D. We use a narrative identification strategy to quantify the effects of exogenous shocks to U.S. R&D appropriations on the dynamic TFP response of 69 foreign economies from 1980–2019. A U.S. R&D appropriations shock equal to 1 percent of the federal R&D capital stock raises foreign TFP by approximately 1 percent after 12 years. This response is driven primarily by nondefense rather than defense R&D and is concentrated in non-OECD economies. These patterns are most consistent with diffusion occurring through openly accessible scientific content\, capital-embodied trade\, and technological leapfrogging by economies further from the global frontier. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that the global social returns to U.S. public non-defense R&D are roughly twice as large as the domestic returns\, meaning the U.S. captures about half of these productivity benefits. When he is not thinking about economics\, Ishan can be found playing\, watching\, or talking about basketball.  \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: Ishan Nath is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and a Faculty Associate of the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability. His research focuses broadly on climate change\, international trade\, and the macroeconomics of development. He currently serves as an associate editor of the Journal of International Economics and the Review of Economics and Statistics\, and Research Director for Climate and the Environment at the International Growth Centre. Prior to joining Harvard\, Ishan worked as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and completed postdoctoral fellowships with the Climate Impact Lab at the University of Chicago and in the International Economics section at Princeton University. He received his PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago\, an MPhil in Economics from the University of Oxford\, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar\, and a B.A. in Economics and B.S. in Earth Systems from Stanford University.
