Thank you for asking me how I am doing. I am not well. Here is why:
▪️The area affected by the Turkish/Syrian #earthquake is the size of the entire United Kingdom.
▪️ In #Türkiye alone, 16,000 people are dead and over 200,000 under rubbles, probably dead or dying.

This is a great paper and well-executed study on the impact of antitrust intervention on platform complements. I recommend a) reading it, and b) taking ten seconds to vote for it at the link below

Honored to share that my paper with @rkatila1 on #platform #antitrust is a finalist in the Economics category at the #AntitrustWritingAwards. There is a Reader's Choice Award for which we would appreciate your support! You can vote for us here: bit.ly/ThatchenkeryKa…

@paulgreenjunior That's even more interesting! To promote long-term stewardship? To signal that this isn't just about $$?
English
@dphannah Well, not an economic reason as much as a policy reason, but NBA teams may only have up to 25 total owners and each must own at least 1%. Hedge funds can own part of a team, but no more than 20% (I think). It seems the league has tried to limit conglomerate ownership.
English
Is there an economic reason billionaires end up owning sports teams, vs other (conglomerate) owners? Or any recommended reading on the economics of pro sports?

@k_mcelheran Oh my goodness yes. The new PC fan / LED combos are so space age (and quiet, and awesome).

Thrilled to see our phenomenal 1st year PhD student Hilary Mahar crush it in her very first academic conference, delivering virtually to a packed (in-person) room at the @USASBE "Driven by Dreams" entrepreneurship conference @BUQuestrom

@mah_kaa @k_mcelheran @InnovateBU @BU_Tweets @jonlevyBU @BUQuestrom @klakhani @mah_kaa The technology is the same as a commercial unit, but cheaper and typically far higher throughput. The last part makes the use case slightly different; the logical application here is in crowded social spaces like classes where a small unit would have little impact
English
@dphannah @k_mcelheran @InnovateBU @BU_Tweets @jonlevyBU @BUQuestrom @klakhani It was a user innovation to address users’ unmet needs years ago. But, today, with many commercial products, how is it different from my Germ Guardian purifiers? Just cheaper?
English
Heyo! What a cool event. 9 amazing students turned out in the rain to make miniature dorm-room #corsirosenthalbox air purifiers, play with tape, and learn about user innovation.
Thanks to the amazing @innovateBU BuildLab for hosting! @bu_tweets @jonlevyBU @BUQuestrom
English
@k_mcelheran @InnovateBU @BU_Tweets @jonlevyBU @BUQuestrom @klakhani The current movement was launched by two air quality experts re-inventing or rediscovering this approach early in the pandemic (hence "Corsi-Rosenthal box"). It then scaled through the community. So overall, I think its a bit "user", a bit "low cost", and some "grassoots" :-)
English
@k_mcelheran @InnovateBU @BU_Tweets @jonlevyBU @BUQuestrom @klakhani So folks have been making filter boxes for years for use in wood shops, smoke zones, etc. I see this as a classic "users innovate to meet own needs b/c existing products don't work" a la von Hippel, etc. 1/2

Celebrating a grassroots movement in 2022.
If you built 1 or more #CorsiRosenthalBox es in 2022, please reply w/ the number you/your org built, & add a photo of 1 (or many!). Built for others? Indicate recipient(s) (without personal names), e.g., schools in. To all of you, 👏

@thatchenkery @rkatila1 Congratulations both! This is a wonderful paper.
English
Excited to share that my paper with @rkatila1 on #antitrust intervention in #platform #ecosystems is out! We find that limiting a dominant platform's ability to block competition from complementors boosts complementor innovation but hurts their profits.

I love this story, as it highlights how even a simple change (it’s just a box!) can actually represent a radical reframing of an idea, and can generate controversy to match
Kate Raworth@KateRaworth
Such a radical redrawing meets a lot of resistance - as Daly discovered while working at the World Bank in the 1990s. Here's a great story he told about commenting on drafts of the WB's major 1992 report Development and Environment. Some pictures turn out to be too powerful...

While I design most of my own exercises, sometimes classics like the Marshmallow Challenge really are the best. This year, 16/17 teams ended up learning the hard way (and will remember) about failing to test hidden assumptions (spoiler: marshmallows are really heavy)

@k_mcelheran @BUQuestrom @BU_Tweets Yes - I COMPLETELY agree. This is not live but it will be recorded; will follow up with a link.
English
As some of you know, I started a major research program on pandemic-era grassroots innovation. I've got a talk this weekend - if you're in Boston, c'mon by for inspiring stories of folks who stepped up, and thoughts about how we can be ready for the future @BUQuestrom @BU_Tweets
