Is #innovation good for #regional development? Yes, and here’s how: West German regions that absorbed East German know-how after 1990 saw higher incomes, esp. in industries that drive their region’s #patents. tinyurl.com/fbkczuyw with @wonderingmildly and @O_Tcaci

🔥NEW WP with @O_Tcaci and @wonderingmildly What are causal effects of regional innovation on income and employment? Using PATSTAT and SOEP, we match patenting activity to occupations. We find innovative region is good, innovative occupation is better! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
