This is a fantastic paper. Both economics and econ-oriented strategy departments should give Pier's work a close look!

Hi all, please spread the word and we hope everyone can make good use of this new data drop: CMFdata.org The full surviving establishment-level Census of Manufactures manuscripts from 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880!

Earlier this year, the President’s budget proposed a 40% cut to the NIH budget. This sparked an obvious research question: What if the NIH had been 40% smaller in previous years? Here’s what Pierre Azoulay, Danielle Li, Bhaven Sampat, and I found when we looked at grants that…

Incredibly excited for my brand new class at Toronto Rotman this fall: Progress! Econ history + theory + history of tech/thought + philosophy on why rare orgs at rare times in rare places accomplish new things. Trying to put rigor onto an idea that is very much in the air. 1/3

Most people think “indirect costs” for government-funded scientific research have grown out of control (some universities charge >60% rates). In response, the Trump admin tried to cap them at 15%. But this whole debate rests on a false premise: While ***negotiated indirect…

Big thanks to @matthewesche and the @IFP team for spotlighting our work on #IndirectCostRecovery, a previously-arcane but tremendously important part of federal S&T policy. We hope it's helpful to improving understanding and charting a path forward.

In a new @IFP policy brief, @pierre_azoulay, @daniel_p_gross, and Bhaven Sampat analyze new data from NIH-funded institutions to clarify what is happening with indirect cost rates. ifp.org/indirect-cost-… Some key charts:

We mapped who supports US STEM PhDs. Fed govt by far the main funder, esp in science for critical tech like AI and quantum. Less govt funding -> fewer graduates. Further details: drorshvadron.com/research/docto… Joint with @HansenZhang13, Lee Fleming and @daniel_p_gross

Great as always from @daniel_p_gross and Bhaven. A friend was joking this week that their work shows so much innovation benefit across sectors from WW2 that the war is dangerously close to a net welfare benefit! Also see the correct point on linear model (more on this soon!)

Nope. This paper is about US academics 1900-1960! The present looks different. Asking people to stop drawing inference from these stats as if they're about the present & asking authors to put time period in their title and abstract! 🙏
