Together with my co-authors Ali Sina Önder and Sascha Schweitzer, we tell a success story. We show that the complementarity between East and West German knowledge gave rise to new innovation paths – a reminder that knowledge and innovation are not bound by borders. For the full picture, check out our working paper, available at 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dhnKu45X, where we disentangle the causal pathways between innovation and economic development. This is part of a broader, ongoing research agenda - stay tuned for updates! #Innovation #KnowledgeTransfer #Patents #RegionalDevelopment #KnowledgeComplementarities
