From our new Special Issue:
Why do promising science-based ventures struggle to scale up? In a new study, @PeterKalum shows how ventures struggle to adapt their identity when they scale and move from “lab to market”.

Scaleups and high growth firms have been shown to be vital in socio-economic transformation. They do not only create new jobs, but also spur innovation and change. But how do such firms navigate opportunities and challenges successfully?

Personal experience: I shopped a replication papers showing that the famous Piketty and Saez paper in the QJE was sloppily made, had tons of typos and tons of huge historical errors (like omitting that all state/local gov employees didnt file taxes) and told that it didnt matter
Is Economics self-correcting? We have a new discussion paper, joint with N Fiala & @flneubauer. Quick answer is: No, rather not. We reviewed all replications published as comments in the AER. Plus, we surveyed the authors. A short thread 1/. bit.ly/3y0wMYp #EconTwitter

When the government suddenly cuts research funds in an area, researchers turn to private sources, like companies,
The result is a drop in high-tech entrepreneurship & basic research papers, and an increase in low-quality patents as the results of research become less accessible.
Very cool study showing that teaching business model design, networking and team work helps entrepreneurs a lot. A nice motivational boost for us teaching entrepreneurship 🙂

Once again, hierarchy is necessary and flatter isn’t always better.
"We had a flat management hierarchy in the early years, and we bragged that we ran our startup like Star Trek — you were either in engineering or operations, and everyone reported to a founder. This was cute, until it quickly stopped working."

The key takeaway for managers is that while it is crucial to secure funding and develop markets, they also need to pay attention to the venture’s identity. When growing, the identity is like that of a teenager: it can be pulled in different directions by its environment.

In their new paper in @NTWEjournal, @PeterKalum and @eli_bucher_ contribute to recent discussions on solidarity in the #gigeconomy, see the full paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Scary: 73 teams tested the same hypotheses with the same data. Some found negative results, some positive, some nada. No effect of expertise or confirmation bias. "Idiosyncratic researcher variability is a threat to the reliability of scientific findings." osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/c…
Great advice from a great Finn! I think this is important, especially for early career scholars and when starting new projects with new coauthors!
What to do as the first thing before starting a new academic paper project?
This is what I have recently learned and I call it the "3D review":
DATA
DOABLE
DOUBTS
This works for any empirical paper, quantitative & qualitative!
