Academic honesty is crucial for scientific advancement, yet replication crises and misconduct scandals are omnipresent. We provide evidence on scientists' truth-telling from two incentivized coin-tossing experiments with more than 1,300 scientists. Experiment I, with predominantly European and...

We examine whether 'pioneer' regions - early leaders in generating new ideas in emerging scientific fields - develop and maintain an innovation advantage in the same fields over time. Our analysis covers 24 disruptive technologies (e.g. AI, cloud computing) in thousands of OECD regions over 20...

Research Summary:Today's innovations rely on scientific discoveries of the past, yet only some corporate R&D builds directly on scientific output. In this article, we analyze U.S. patents to investigate how firms generate value by building on prior art "closer" to science. We show that patent...

This study examines Open Science practices among economic researchers at German universities and research institutions. A total of 314 scientists from different economic disciplines took part in an online survey to answer questions about their attitudes, applications, barriers, and incentives in...

Promoting awareness and encouraging pro-sustainability behaviors to mitigate climate and environmental issues can be challenging due to their polarizing nature. We conduct a large-scale online experiment in Jakarta, the world's fastest sinking city, to examine the impact of messenger identity...

We examine a little-known restriction on high-skill immigration to the United States, the Exchange Visitor Skills List. This List mandates that to become eligible for long-term status in the U.S., certain high-skill visitors must reside in their home countries for two years after participation...

Wie gestaltet sich der soziale Wandel mit Blick auf Chancengerechtigkeit in Wissenschaftskarrieren? Wie kann dem Gender Bias hier strukturell und nachhaltig entgegengewirkt werden? Der Sammelband verfolgt einen doppelten Fokus auf diesen Wandel hin zu einer Steigerung der Chancengerechtigkeit in...
