SUMMARY:Money and Economy Making in Southern Africa
DESCRIPTION:The question of African economic development is enduring. With 32 of 44 Least Developed Countries (LDCs) being in Africa. It is\, therefore\, imperative that scholars\, specifically economic historians contribute to conversations around the question of Africa’s stalled development. In this regard\, the symposium will examine the monetary component of economic development in Africa\, bringing together select scholars working on the Southern African region to explore the monetary connections and disconnections in the development of the economy of the region. In collaboration with scholars and speakers from the Universities of Glasgow\, Muzuzu in Malawi\, Midlands State University in Zimbabwe and the Universities of Pretoria and Free State in South Africa\, the project will assemble scholars of Southern African economic history who hitherto work in silos. The aim is to assemble scholars that will work towards a larger monetary project that will propel the advancement of the study of the economic history of Africa\, with the goal of making historical connections to the enduring economic challenges the region faces. Thirdly\, the symposium will afford scholars the opportunity to discuss relevant/topical national monetary issues impacting economic developments with the aim of (a) identify and brainstorm towards writing research grant proposal(s) for an in-depth study of  money and economy making in Africa across different countries and epochs (b) discuss parameters for individual journal articles and book chapters for academic publication in high impact journals and reputable publishing houses. \nIt is the broader objective of the symposium to discuss the expansion of the study of African economic history across Universities in Africa which has declined over the years resulting in the production of much fewer experts in the field at a time they are most required. Scholars like Grieve Chelwa (2021\, 2025) and Ndongo Samba Sylla (2025) have revealed the disparities inherent in the economic knowledge on Africa produced by Africans in relation to those produced by non-Africans especially those in the North\, with the latter producing more knowledge often skewed in their favor. Studies have also shown that various economic indices used to measure economic progress for African economies are inapplicable making policy prescriptions equally inadequate in dealing with the unending African development problem [see for example\, M.S Morgan (2011\, 2018)\, Alden Young (2017)\, Alden Young and Tinashe Nyamunda (2025)]. Narrowing the continent to the Southern African region\, the symposium builds and expands on an earlier YSI workshop organised by Geraldine Sibanda and Alessandro de Cola\, titled Money and Monetary Institutions in Africa with a dossier now published in the Southern Journal of Contemporary History (2025). The symposium\, therefore\, seeks to provide a thinking platform for a wider group of economic historians to examine monetary developments in the region to not only contribute to the dwindling number of Africanists studying African economic developments\, but to map out a way forward to enable scholars to carry out in-depth studies on the region so as to produce well-researched and relevant findings. \nThe themes to be examined will include the following: \n\nTaxation\, Banking and Finance\nFinancial inclusion\nMonetary Authorities: Currency\, Central Banking and Currency Boards\nImperialism of Free Trade\nInternational Financial Institutions and Global Monetary Architecture\nEconomic Integration and Monetary Unions\nPersonalities in Money and Economy-Making in Africa

SUMMARY:Workshop in Economics of INnovation\, Geography and Science (WINGS#1)
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop in Economics of INnovation\, Geography and Science (WINGS#1)\, building on the legacy of the Workshop in Economics of INnovation\, Complexity and Knowledge (WICK)\, is a workshop for doctoral students and early carrer (young) researchers\, jointly organized by the PhD in Innovation for the Circular Econmy (University of Turin) and the YSI. The previous editions attracted about 20 young researchers in Economics and Social Sciences from all over the world. The renowned format and edition will take place on December 11–12\, 2025\, at the Department of Economics and Statistics “Cognetti de Martiis”\,  University of Turin\, in Turin (Italy). \nThe aim of the workshop is to bring together young researchers from different disciplines and provide them with an opportunity for discussion of both full and early works. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive helpful feedback from distinguished faculty members and external scholars. \nThe main topics of the Workshop are Economics of Innovation\, Geography\, Science and Complexity.  The focus of the event is on Economics of Science\, Innovation and Technology\, Evolutionary Economics\, Economic Geography\,  and their policy implications. \nThe workshop will bring together methodologically heterogeneous works from Econometric contributions to Complex Network Analysis and computational methods. The plurality of the approaches and the broad pool of knowledge covered in WINGS#1 is embodied by the members of our Scientific Committee who are active participants of the event\, together with senior scholars\, who regularly come as discussants during the sessions of the workshop. \nParticipants may apply for a presentation session. The participants will have 30 minutes to present their work. A senior researcher is going to lead a 10-minutes discussion of the paper/research projects after the presentation. To apply for the workshop\, the submission of an extended abstract of the paper/research proposal is required (maximum 1000 words)\, and  full paper or an advanced  resentation will be required before the Workshop\, to allow the senior researcher prepare the discussion. \nAs usual\, the young researchers will also have the opportunity to attend lessons from renowned scholars in the field. This year\, we are glad to host as keynote speakers Prof. Francesco Rentocchini (University of Milan and EC JRC)\, Prof. Elvira Uyarra (University of Manchester) and Prof. Valeria Costantini (University of Roma Tre).

SUMMARY:The Untold Stories Behind Financial Crises (1825-2025): Plurality of Causes and Multidimensional Consequences
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will commemorate the bicentennial of the 1825 financial crisis by shedding light on the long-term history of financial crises up to the 21st century. The theme is intentionally broad\, welcoming diverse approaches and geographical perspectives. \nThe 1825 crisis has been often characterized as the first global speculative bubble\, driven by foreign investments in Latin America which triggered widespread contagion within the British banking system and across international markets. Studying this crisis allows us to highlight the pivotal role of central banks\, particularly the Bank of England\, in addressing liquidity crises. Politically\, the crisis was closely linked to Britain’s strategic interest in supporting the newly independent Latin American republics\, using economic investments to diminish Spanish influence in the region. The crisis was thus rooted in economic\, monetary\, financial\, and political dimensions\, which jointly played a critical role to both trigger the process and spread its effects. \nThis crisis offers an excellent entry point for linking economic history with the history of economic thought\, two fields that are drawn closer together by the study of financial\, monetary\, and banking questions (Rosselli\, 2013). More broadly\, financial crises typically involve the simultaneous interplay of monetary\, financial\, banking\, and political dimensions\, making them outstanding frameworks for multidisciplinary reflection. \n​We are particularly interested in contributions that employ multidimensional perspectives\, including\, but not limited to\, economic\, financial\, managerial\, political\, sociological\, and historical approaches\, to analyse various crises. Such interdisciplinary insights can lead to more comprehensive historiographies\, enriching our understanding of these complex events. \nThe Untold Stories workshop seeks to uncover overlooked discussions on financial crises by integrating diverse perspectives from disciplines such as economics\, political science\, management science\, international relations\, sociology\, and contemporary history. By doing so\, we aim to shed light on the complex interplay of expertise\, geography\, and institutional dynamics that have shaped the history of ideas. \nContributions using a diversity of methodologies and perspectives from different geographical regions are welcome. \nSuggested Contribution Topics (Non-Exhaustive)\n\nGlobal Interconnections\n\n\nInternational trade\, investment flows\, and geopolitical interests linked to financial crises.\nThe role of colonialism and decolonization in the spread of economic shocks.\n\n\n The Political Economy of Financial Crises\n\n\nInfluence of political decisions\, power struggles\, and legislative frameworks in creation and resolution of conflicts\nAnalyzing crises as products of state policy\, such as subsidies\, trade protectionism\, trade wars\, tariffs\, or financial liberalization.\n\n\n The Evolution of Central Banking\n\n\nThe historical role of central banks in crisis mitigation and liquidity provision.\nComparative analysis of central banking approaches across regions and eras.\n\n\n Forgotten Crises: Regional and Peripheral Narratives\n\n\nHighlighting overlooked crises in the Global South\, Latin America\, Asia\, or smaller economies.\nThe distinct causes and consequences of crises in non-Western financial systems.\n\n\n Financial Crises and Social Change\n\n\nThe sociological impact of crises on different classes\, political and labor movements\, and social policies.\nGendered dimensions of financial crises\, including their effect on women’s labor and economic roles.\n\n\n The Role of Experts and Knowledge Systems in Crisis Management\n\n\nThe influence of “money doctors\,” economists\, and advisors on policymaking.\nImpact of Crises on the Evolution of Sciences\n\n\n Environmental Crises and Economic Instability\n\n\nExploring connections between natural disasters\, climate change\, and financial crises.\nThe economic consequences of environmental mismanagement or resource-driven speculation.\n\n\n The Managerial Perspective on Financial Crises\n\n\nAdaptation of firms’ investment strategies and financial policies during financial crises.\nOrganizational behavior of banks during financial crises.\n\n\n Crisis Narratives in Literature\, Media\, and Popular Culture\n\n\nHow financial crises have been represented in literature\, art\, food\, film\, and journalism.\nThe cultural memory of crises and their symbolic meanings.\n\n\n Long-Term Recovery and Historical Lessons\n\n\nCase studies of recovery and institutional learning post-crises.\nThe resilience of financial systems over time and lessons for modern economies.\n\nAbstract Submission Guidelines\nPlease submit an abstract with 1\,000 words. \nWhen reviewing the abstracts\, we will look for theoretical considerations/ assumptions\, research questions\, methodology\, nature of evidence used to draw conclusions\, and findings. \nWe encourage PhD scholars in the final year of writing up their doctoral work\, postdoctoral scholars\, and early career scholars (within 7 years of their PhD) to submit their abstracts for consideration. \nFinancial Support\nA limited number of travel and accommodation stipends are available for young scholars in the final year of their PhD and within seven years of completing their PhD. The travel stipend may not be enough for intercontinental travel. The possibility of remote participation is being considered. \nOrganisational details\nThe one-and-a-half-day workshop is not only open to – but warmly welcomes – the participation of young scholars from all areas of research in the social sciences. The workshop will involve eight young scholars who will have the opportunity to present their papers and enjoy a conversation with peers\, as well as two senior scholars\, who will deliver one keynote speech each. Each presentation/keynote speech will enjoy a time slot of 30 minutes\, plus 30 minutes of Q&A session. \nImportant dates\nLast date for abstract submission: 30 April 2025 \nFull paper submission deadline: 31 October 2025 \nConference: 11-12 December 2025 \nScientific Committee\n\nAlain Béraud\, PHARE\, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne\nNesrine Bentemessek Kahia\, Université Paris Est Créteil\, IRG\nSylvie Diatkine\, PHARE\, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne\nRebeca Gomez Betancourt\, Université Lyon 2\, Triangle Research Center\nJosé M.

SUMMARY:Financialization Studies in Latin America: Agendas and Perspectives. December 11–12\, Santiago\, Chile
DESCRIPTION:1. Summary\nThe workshop seeks to foster exchange on current developments in financialization studies in Latin America\, while promoting the consolidation of a regional network of scholars and experts in the field. We approach financialization studies as an inherently interdisciplinary domain. Accordingly\, our call welcomes—but is not limited to—research on the financialization of socio-economic policies\, welfare provision\, household economies\, environmental governance\, social movements\, and initiatives to de-financialize public policies and common goods. We particularly encourage theoretical and empirical contributions from across the social sciences\, with special attention to comparative and regionally focused perspectives. The event will be held in Santiago\, Chile\, on December 11–12\, at Universidad Central de Chile\, in partnership with the Economy and Society Research Center (ESOC). \n  \n2. Call for papers\nOver the past decade\, the financialization of Latin America has emerged as a critical area of research for social science\, challenging earlier assumptions of the region as “low-financialized” case. The scope of financialization studies in Latin America extends beyond macroeconomic trends\, including social and environmental policies as distinctive issues in the region. In this context\, financialization is not simply an economic shift but a multifaceted phenomenon that permeates diverse aspects of society. Local researchers have documented how finance has reshaped accumulation patterns\, banking systems\, social policy\, environmental governance\, and household dynamics. These dynamics have not gone unchallenged\, as social movements across the region resist the encroachment of finance into social life. \nOn the one hand\, a significant body of research has explored how financialization impacts economic performance\, driving trends such as deindustrialization and stagnation (Paulani\, 2010; Bruno et al.\, 2011). This process encourages non-financial companies to prioritize financial revenue generation through investments in financial markets\, often at the expense of traditional operational investments (Mantoan et al.\, 2021)\, a tendency commonly referred to as the financialization of non-financial companies. Furthermore\, financialization is often followed by shifts in fiscal and monetary policies\, shaping broader economic patterns (Bruno & Caffé\, 2015\, Abeles\, Pérez Caldentey & Valdecantos\, 2018; Bresser-Pereira et al.\, 2020; Mader\, 2023\, Lavinas et al.\, 2024). All these dynamics are intricately shaped by internal and external factors\, as has also been underscored by the literature addressing subordinate financialization (Bonizzi\, Kaltenbrunner & Powell 2020; Painceira\, 2022). \nOn the other hand\, a growing body of research has examined the financialization of welfare states in Latin America\, particularly for countries such as Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, and Mexico. The research has shown the different waves of reform and counter-reform that have shaped the trajectory of welfare systems in the region over the past four decades. Evidence suggests the emergence of new welfare infrastructures based on novel linkages between public policies\, financial markets\, and households (González\, 2018; Lavinas\, 2020; Wilkis\, 2021). Research shows that credit markets have become key avenues for accessing welfare in the region. Financial players have thus acquired a prominent role in the provision of social services\, especially for education\, health\, housing\, and anti-poverty programs (Ríos Jara\, 2023; Aalbers & Fernández\, 2019; Bahía & Scheffer\, 2022; Cordilha\, 2022; Reyes & Basile\, 2022; Socoloff\, 2019; Morvant-Roux & Carmona\, 2020; Lavinas\, 2013). Consequently\, household debt has surged across the region (Lavinas et al.\, 2024). \nRecently\, research has shown the involvement of Latin American governments in the financial inclusion of the working poor (Ramos et al.\, 2023; Nougués\, 2022; Marambio-Tapia\, 2021; Müller\, 2015). Over the past decade\, Latin American administrations have increasingly aligned themselves with the financial inclusion agenda actively promoted by international organizations\, development agendas\, transnational NGOs\, banks\, and corporations (Cotler\, 2017). These strategies combine policies aimed at enhancing access to credit\, promoting financial literacy\, and providing state loans to address a wide range of welfare demands\, such as education\, entrepreneurship\, essential consumption\, and housing improvement (Nougués\, 2023; Carroza-Athens\, 2022; Bressan\, 2020; Trejo Giménez\, 2020; Cariceo\, 2012). \nThe financialization of natural resources in Latin America has also become an area of significant scholarly interest\, revealing complex interactions between financial markets and environmental governance (López et. al\, 2022). Research indicates that this process involves transforming natural resources into financial assets\, leading to increased speculation and investment in natural resource exploitation. Particularly\, scholars have highlighted the role of financial institutions in promoting extractive industries\, exacerbating environmental degradation and social conflicts (Svampa\, 2019\, Ertürk\, 2023\, Marroig Barreto\, 2024). In addition\, growing research has been done on the assetization of nature\, and the role of financial capital in the exploitation of vital natural resources\, such as water\, land\, and energy (Oliveira\, 2022) \nLatin American research on financialization has also highlighted the rise of social movements and growing opposition to its consequences. This body of work shows how various social movements have systematically resisted financialization-driven reforms targeting social rights\, environmental policies\, and public goods such as water and land. In response\, social opposition has led to numerous attempts to “de-financialize” these sectors or regulate the extent to which finance infiltrates society. The rise and fall of progressive governments in the 2000s and 2010s\, as well as the current resurgence of left-leaning governments\, have resulted in a range of frustrated and incomplete efforts to reverse the financialization of social rights. These efforts often contend with the temptation to deepen financial dynamics further by adopting expedient financial solutions to address popular demands. This tension underscores the challenges of balancing the push for financial deregulation with the desire for more equitable governance. \nUnderstanding the dynamics of financialization in Latin America is not only key to analyzing the region’s past and present but also critical for envisioning alternative futures. The ongoing transformations demand an interdisciplinary approach that considers the interplay of finance\, policy\, and resistance. Against this backdrop\, this workshop seeks to foster dialogue among scholars and practitioners\, encouraging a deeper\, region-specific understanding of financialization’s complexities and consequences in Latin America. \n  \n3. Topics of Interest\nWe invite scholars to apply for the call of papers on topics related to financialization studies\, which include but are not limited to: \n\nFinancialization of the State and public policies in general.\nFinancialization of social policy and welfare: conditional cash transfers\, education\, health\, labor\, housing\, pensions.\nFinancialization\, economic policy and the role of central banking.\nFinances and households economy.\nDigital finance and financial inclusion.\nFinancialization of nature\, green transition and extractivism.\nMovements against financialization.\nPolicy alternatives and definancialization processes.\nTheory of financialization from a Latin American perspective\nComparative case studies on financialization with focus on Latin America.\n\n  \n4. Event format\nThe event consists of a two-day workshop with three types of activities. First\, four panels of paper presentations. In each panel\, three students and early career researchers will present their papers/thesis chapters and receive feedback from commentators and peers. Presenters will have 15 minutes\, followed by 10 minutes of commentator feedback\, and 15 minutes of Q&A. Second\, keynote speeches with senior scholars. Finally\, a training session to promote and advance the study of financialization in the region. \n  \n5. Target audience\nThe target audience consists of young scholars (Graduate and MA students\, PhD candidates\, Postdocs) and early career researchers (3 years since Ph.D.) working on topics related to financialization studies in Latin America. \n  \n6. Funding\nLimited financial support (USD 200) to help offset travel expenses will be available for selected young scholars who are based in Latin America. To be eligible for partial travel stipends\, scholars must be YSI members (membership is free via the YSI website). \n  \n7. Young scholars’ selection\nExtended abstracts (500–1\,000 words\, in English) must be submitted by October 19. The scientific committee will evaluate them based on academic merit\, relevance to the workshop\, and diversity of topics and participants. Accepted authors must submit a full paper in English by November 21 to facilitate commentary and international exchange. \n  \n8. Contact\nFor any questions\, feel free to reach us at ysi.financeworkshop@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Fiscal Austerity and Territorial Inequalities in Argentina
DESCRIPTION:Since the inauguration of the new national government in 2023\, Argentina entered a new phase of austerity\, guided by the priority goal of achieving a fiscal surplus. This policy entailed the deepest reduction in public spending since the 2001 crisis\, marked by a sharp defunding of social programs along with a significant decline in transfers to subnational states. \nSince December 2023\, drastic cuts have been made to budget lines with high subnational impact—such as public works and education—shifting increasing responsibilities onto provincial and municipal governments. This not only threatens to deepen territorial inequalities but has also strained federal financing agreements\, highlighting the fragility of Argentina’s fiscal architecture in the face of drastic changes in national spending. As a result\, provinces face serious difficulties in defining their own budgets and ensuring the provision of basic rights such as health\, education\, housing\, and care\, among others. \nIn this context\, the project proposes an interdisciplinary workshop aimed at debating the role of national fiscal policy in subnational accounts\, with a particular focus on public spending and its distributive consequences. \nThe objective is to analyze the implications of this process and jointly explore how subnational economies can position themselves in the face of this reorganization of national fiscal policy in order to protect and guarantee equitable access to public goods and services. \n\nTopics of interest and key dates \nWe invite academics\, public administration officials\, and civil society organizations to submit proposals that contribute to the following questions: \n\n\nHow does the reduction of discretionary transfers affect the ability of provinces to sustain essential services? \n\n\nWhat strategies are provincial and local governments developing to cope with the decline in national funding? \n\n\nWhat alternatives can be envisioned for the future to limit the regressive effects of adjustment and strengthen territorial equity? \n\n\nExtended abstract proposals (500–1000 words) will be accepted until 13 October 2025. \nProposals will be reviewed by a committee of specialists\, evaluating the quality of the submission\, its contribution to the workshop theme\, and the track record of the applicants. \nSpecial consideration will be given to proposals submitted by early-stage researchers from institutions based in the provinces. \nProposals must be sent by email\, along with the applicants’ CVs\, to: info@acij.org.ar \n\nFunding \nA limited fund will be available to support in-person participation of selected presenters\, including travel and/or accommodation. \n\nTarget audience and workshop format \nThe workshop seeks to bring together specialists in budgetary analysis with a human rights perspective from different provinces\, coming both from academia and civil society organizations. Legislators and their advisors will also be invited. \nThe activity will take place in a one-day session: \n\n\nThe first half will focus on presentations on the main changes identified in provincial budget execution and their impact on rights protection. \n\n\nThe second half will be devoted to discussing proposals for reforming the federal revenue-sharing system and its role in a potential fiscal reform. \n\n\n\nDate and venue \nThe workshop will be held in Buenos Aires (Capital Federal) on Friday\, 12 December 2025.

SUMMARY:YSI Special Session at the 8th Workshop on New Developmentalism
DESCRIPTION:The New Developmentalism (ND) is a theoretical framework that has been developed by prominent economists in Brazil since the early 2000s. It has been developed to comprehend the growth and development dynamics of middle-income countries\, in particular\, Latin America. The theory\, based largely on classical development economics and post-Keynesian economics\, has brought important contributions to the field of political economy and development macroeconomics. It focuses on the fiscal and current accounts and on five macroeconomic prices which the market is unable to keep ‘right’. \nThe 8th Workshop on New Developmentalism will be an event composed of lectures\, conferences by a keynote speaker (such as two Lectures by Professor Jayati Ghosh)\, and panels of paper presentations on themes related to economic development in emerging countries. In this way\, it seeks to stimulate debate and understanding of possible unconventional strategies for catching up in developing countries. More specifically\, it seeks to stimulate debate\, production\, and the strengthening of a network of researchers on macroeconomic and development theory from an unconventional approach. \nThis year\, the Complexity Economic WG and the Latin American Working Group of YSI-INET\, jointly with CND-FGV\, are pleased to invite you to participate in our YSI Sessions and to submit your manuscript for the YSI sessions for article (work-in progress) presentation. We encourage submission that broadly falls within the topics of the conference (see below)\, such as: \n\nPolitical economy of new developmentalism (developmental capitalism x liberal capitalism\, the developmental state)\nHow to expand New Developmentalism reach to overcome current development challenges?\nExtensions of new developmentalism (green growth strategies\, economic policies to reduce inequalities).\nAnalysis of the development strategies of countries of the global south.\nLabor market dynamics and its relationship with structural change\nModels and empirical research focused on the relation between macroeconomic development\, climate change and structural change.\nWhy and how to manage the five macroeconomic prices (exchange rate\, wage rate\, profit rate\, interest rate\, and inflation) to promote economic development?\nWhy are the exchange rate and the current account so important in the investment function?\n\n\nThe YSI sessions will be composed of one masterclass by Professor Jayati Ghosh and multiple sessions for young scholars to present their work and receive comments and feedback from senior scholars. \n  \nApplication: Please make your application by following the form button. \nDeadline: Deadline for submitting papers (or work-in progress) is October 05\, 23:59pm. Please see the schedule below: \nThe preliminary program of the workshop can be seen here: https://eaesp.fgv.br/centros/centro-estudos-novo-desenvolvimentismo/eventos/8th-workshop-new-developmentalism \n  \nYSI Program: \nDay one of the workshop (12-12-2025):  \n14:30 – 16:30 \nYSI-INET Session: Macroeconomic development\, structural change\, and green growth in developing countries  \nAndre Nassif (UFF)\, Carmem Feijo (UFF)\, Danilo Spinola (Birmingham City University) Julia Torracca – (UFRJ)\, Luiz Fernando de Paula (UFRJ) \n  \nDay two of the workshop (13-12-2025):  \n9:00 – 10:00 at the Noble Hall (4th floor) \nYSI Especial Session  \nMasterclass: Jayati Ghosh (University of Massachusetts at Amherst) \n10:00 – 10:30 – Coffee \n10:30 – 12:30 YSI Parallel sessions A \n12:30 – 14:00 \nLunch \n14:00 – 16:00 YSI Parallel sessions B \n18:00 – YSI Social Gathering (place to be confirmed) \n  \nTravel and accommodation costs: Select participants (young scholars) may be eligible for partial funding stipends from YSI-INET.

SUMMARY:Milan Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research Seminar Series (MInERS) – Fifth Lecture and YSI Italy Hub Meeting
DESCRIPTION:MInERS is seminar series organized by a network of scholars located in Milan dedicated to promoting events\, networking and research in the area of Innovation\, Science and Entrepreneurship. As part of the YSI Hub Meeting\, we promote participation in the a HumanTech Seminar Series\, scheduled for 12 December 2025\, 15:00\, at the Department of Management\, Economics and Industrial Engineering of Politecnico di Milano\, Via Raffaele Lambruschini\, 4b\, Milan\, Italy. \nKeynote: Prof. Matt Marx is the Bruce F. Failing\, Sr. Chair in Entrepreneurship at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business\, and is the inaugural Faculty Director of Entrepreneurship@Cornell. He leads the Innovation Information Initiative (I3)\, curates several open datasets at relianceonscience.org\, serves as Department Editor for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Management Science\, and is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Matt was previously an executive and inventor at two successful startup companies and holds six patents. \nTitle: Connecting Fundamental Science to Commercial Innovation: A Public Dataset of Patent-Paper Pairs \nAbstract: We provide a dataset of Patent-Paper Pairs (PPPs) across all fields of science\, linking articles from the Microsoft Academic Graph to patents granted by the USPTO as well as patent applications not granted. We train a random forest based on a combination of hand-checked PPPs and those containing extensive ‘self-plagiarism’\, incorporating variables such as temporal distance\, title/abstract similarity\, inventor/author overlap\, similarity of assignee and institution(s)\, overlap of backward citations\, and being supported by the same grant. We employ this dataset to revisit the perennial question of whether the patent system fulfills its original objective to ‘promote the progress of science’ by comparing citations to PPPs to potential PPPs where the patent was not granted\, instrumenting via examiner leniency. We find evidence disconfirming the “anticommons” view and moreover show that follow-on research is of higher quality and in a broader range of fields. \nDiscussant: Gianluca Tarasconi (ipQuants AG). Gianluca has a diverse range of work experience spanning over several years. Currently he is the Chief Data Officer and Co-Founder of ipQuants AG since 2018. Prior to this\, they worked at Bocconi University as a Data Engineer and Database Architect from 2001 to 2019. During their time at Bocconi University\, they held various roles including project leader for data packages in EU funded projects\, chief data officer for research databases\, and implementation of country of origin assignment algorithm. \nA Q&A session is planned afterwards. Then\, join us for the a complimentary aperitivo organized as a YSI Hub Meeting by MInERS at Bovisa Urban Garden\, Via Emilio Broglio\, 3\, from 17:00 (post-seminar). \nPlease refer to our website for additional information \nWho Should Participate?\nWe welcome expressions of interest from graduate students\, postdoctoral researchers\, early-career researchers\, professors and professionals residing in Milan and its surrounding areas.
