The Symposium will serve the purpuse of discussing how sustainability may be incorporated in business education, in the research programmes of business schools, and in business practice as a whole. It is part of the "Accelerating the Implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals...

We propose a general equilibrium model with oligopolistic output markets where two channels can cause a change in market power: (i) technology, via changes to productivity shocks and the cost of entry, (ii) market structure, via changes to the number of potential competitors. First, we...

Doctoral supervision is becoming an important challenge for many institutions delivering management education at the doctoral level. The emergence of a global market for recruiting of Faculty members makes the quality of doctoral education and doctoral supervision in Management and Business...

We explore how firms grow by adding products. In contrast to most earlier work on the topic, our conceptual and empirical framework allows for separate treatment of product innovation (vertical differentiation) and diversification (horizontal differentiation). Chad Syverson Professor of...

Some will find it difficult to find the right research question for their PhD, others will stop ideating after their first idea, and some will have many ideas but do not know which one to...

The workshop will bring together researchers working on topics including, but not necessarily limited to, dynamic contracting, delegation, information acquisition and learning. There will be no parallel sessions.

The seminar introduces the participants to the methods, techniques and theories commonly used in their research area. It also offers possibilities for young researchers to get in contact with their peers, to explore new avenues of thinking, to learn collectively and to exchange ideas in a very...

The conference aims to create a forum for discussion on issues related to the recent patterns of firms’ activity, the organization of production and firm’s financing, as well as their determinants, consequences and implications for policymaking. This year’s conference particularly welcomes...

We propose a simple explanation for the long-run decline in the startup rate. It was caused by a slowdown in labor supply growth since the late 1970s, largely pre-determined by demographics. This channel explains roughly two-thirds of the decline and why incumbent firm survival and average...
