Like Stars: How Firms Learn at Scientific Conferences Open
Scientific conferences are an underexplored channel by which firms can learn from science. We provide empirical evidence that firms learn from scientific conferences in which they participate but also that this is conditional on intense pa…

Asymmetric Information and R&D Disclosure: Evidence from Scientific Publications Open
We examine how asymmetric information in financial markets affects voluntary research and development (R&D) disclosure, considering scientific publications as a disclosure channel. Difference-in-differences regressions around brokerage hou…
