This is a private page for those with 'Trusted' access that summarizes my thoughts on current intended projects.
=To Do List=
Each project has its own 'to do', but in order to explore new projects or break existing (inc. planned) projects into better questions there are the following tasks to be done:
*Determine whether there are existing models for the effects of the '''winner's curse under asymmetric information'''
*Determine the extent of the literature on the ''''choice' between IPO and acquisition''' for startup firms seeking commercialization financing
*Put together a list of models on complements and substitute technologies
=Technology and Commercialization Strategy=
'''Status:''' Builds of my thesis... Basic empirics done, experimental model done.
'''Co-authors:'''
'''To do:''' New empirics, finish model
'''Project Quality:''' Potentially very high
'''Project Page:''' [[Technology Financing Paper]]
This project currently has priority over all others.
=Acquisitions Paper=
This project might also need data on priority dates and other extentions, though this might be able to be deduced from renewals data. The project either works or doesn't once the data is done.
=Technology substitution and the choice of commercialization financing=
'''Q. Do firms with more radical innovations seek initial public offerings?'''
'''Status:''' Emprics is there. Needs a model and writing.
'''Co-authors:''' poss. Jim?
'''To do:''' Work on the model, decide whether the paper is feasible.
'''Project Quality:''' Potential Job Market Paper? Has a big maintained assumption unless done with two models (and then has a measurement problem).
'''Project Page:''' None yet
The maintained assumption would be that citations represent substitution. Otherwise, would need two models (one for subs, one for comps).
There are two possibilities here:
#Build out my 'learning' model. This might also give rise to a spin-off model, particularly if I can get complements in there.
#Use an off the shelf model (e.g. ?)
