  • Stimulating Collaborations: Evidence from a Research Cluster Policy

    Nicolas Carayol, Emeric Henry et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2025

    The production of knowledge relies on collaborations between researchers. However, we do not know to what extent policies may stimulate these interactions. In this paper we show how a large-scale public “research cluster” policy in France, which funds local communities of researchers working on a common theme, affects the organization of research. Relying on an identification strategy based on grades awarded by reviewers, we show that members of …

  • From Public Labs to Private Firms: Magnitude And Channels of Local R&D Spillovers

    Open AccessAntonin Bergeaud, Arthur Guillouzouic et al.ARTICLEThe Quarterly Journal of Economics2025

    Introducing a new measure of scientific proximity between private firms and public research groups and exploiting a multibillion-euro financing program of academic clusters in France, we provide causal evidence of local spillovers from academic research to firms in the private sector. Our main estimate suggests that each €1 spent in academic research through this program spurred an additional €0.81 in private R&D expenditures. We also show that t…

  • Peer Effects in Academic Research: Senders and Receivers

    Open AccessClément Bosquet, Pierre-Philippe Combes et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2022References: 26

    Using an instrument based on a national contest in France determining researchers’ location, we find evidence of peer effects in academia, when focusing on precise groups of senders (producing the spillovers) and receivers (benefiting from the spillovers), defined based on field of specialisation, gender and age. These peer effects are present even outside formal co-authorship relationships. Furthermore, the match between the characteristics of s…

  • Facts, alternative facts, and fact checking in times of post-truth politics

    Open AccessÓscar Barrera, Sergei Guriev et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Economics2020

    How effective is fact checking in countervailing “alternative facts,” i.e., misleading statements by politicians? In a randomized online experiment during the 2017 French presidential election campaign, we subjected subgroups of 2480 French voters to alternative facts by the extreme-right candidate, Marine Le Pen, and/or corresponding facts about the European refugee crisis from official sources. We find that: (i) alter- native facts are highly p…

  • Waiting to Imitate: On the Dynamic Pricing of Knowledge

    Emeric Henry, Carlos Ponce et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2011References: 3

    We study the problem of an inventor who brings to the market an innovation that can be legally copied. Imitators may 'enter' the market by copying the innovation at a cost or by buying from the inventor the knowledge necessary to reproduce and use the invention. The possibility of contracting dramatically affects the need for patent protection. Indeed, our results reveal that: (i) Imitators wait to enter the market and the inventor becomes a temp…

  • Strategic Disclosure of Research Results: The Cost of Proving Your Honesty

    Open AccessEmeric HenryARTICLEThe Economic Journal2009Cited by: 2

    In situations where a biased sender provides verifiable information to a receiver, I study how strategic reporting affects the incentives to search for information. Research provides series of signals that can be used selectively in reporting. I show that the sender is strictly worse off when his research effort is not observed by the receiver: he has to conduct more research than in the observable case and in equilibrium, discloses all the infor…
