    Please join us for an AOM panel symposium introducing new and historical administrative datasets that expand the empirical foundation for research in innovation, strategic management, and entrepreneurship. 

    πŸ—“ Time: Tuesday, July 29, 3:30–5:00 PM CEST
    πŸ“ Location: Bella Center, Hall C – C3-m2
    πŸ”– Sponsors: STR, TIM

    Presenters:
    Larisa Cioaca, Tulane University
    GaΓ©tan De Rassenfosse, EPFL
    Lia Sheer, Tel Aviv University
    Dror Shvadron, University of Toronto
    Jungkyu Suh, New York University

    Administrative data are essential for studying innovation, strategy, and entrepreneurship, providing the empirical evidence needed to test theories and inform decisions. While patent data have been widely used, answering today's key questions requires broader, more diverse sources of information.

    This symposium introduces new, carefully assembled datasets at the firm, patent, publication, and individual levels-spanning both historical and recent periods, and capturing data on large firms and startups alike. These resources support research on topics such as:
    - The participation of large U.S. firms in science and technology
    - The role of human capital in driving innovation
    - The contribution of government funding to American R&D

    Presenters will describe how these datasets were constructed, what they reveal about emerging trends, and how they can support future research in innovation and entrepreneurship.

    We look forward to seeing you there!
