Yours truly, in full academic regalia

Welcome to my academic wiki. This site provides information, tools, data, and resources, for academics and other researchers. The site is focused on my work - I'm by far the major contributor - but there are sections where co-authors, colleagues, graduate students (particularly in the BPP group at Haas), and others can and have contributed material.

Access to some sections of this site is restricted. Generally, when a research project is in development, access to its materials are restricted to co-authors and research assistants. Once a project is finished (or sometimes abandoned), I usually open up access. The materials posted are all copyrighted. Copyleft applies to other people's work, and if there isn't attribution, you should assume that all rights are reserved. Scripts and data can often be used free of charge for academic (or non-profit) work, but you may not resell them and you should inform me of any improvements.

Aside from details about me, my research papers and projects, and my course material (whether taught or learnt), this site contains research computing help pages (like Research Computing At Haas, Working with PostgreSQL, NBER Account Setup, Help using LaTeX, and PhD Masterclass - How to Build a Web Crawler) and data resources (like Data Dictionaries for WRDS and Thomson SDC Platinum are available from my repository, and a section about The NBER Patent Data Project).

There are also some helpful pages for all academics, even non-economists, like Jim Brander's Rules of Writing and my teaching guide 'How to effectively hinder learning - a guide for teachers'. Likewise, sometimes I include pages of musings.

On what will turn out to be a completely impersonal note, I also have a page entitled Dating Ed. It has received almost 5,500 hits and has got me exactly zero dates. Perhaps, I should have gone with less formal econ?


Course Material

Course material for courses I'm teaching:

Course material available from research courses includes:

Ed's Papers

My recent publications include:

  • Brander, James A., Edward J. Egan and Thomas F. Hellmann (2009), "Government Sponsored Venture Capital in Canada: Effects on Value Creation, Competition and Innovation", in International Differences in Entrepreneurship, edited by J.Lerner and A. Schoar, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
  • See more...

Working and draft papers are available in my Papers section.

Ed's Projects

Some projects (which may or may not have associated papers) have their own sections. These are predominantly for collaboration with other co-authors and/or stakeholders, so access may be restricted to some sections.

Academic projects include:
