Convener: Professor Bronwyn H. Hall

 

The innovation seminar is open to graduate students, faculty, and visitors from Economics, Haas, ARE, and other departments in the university who have an interest in the economics of innovation, technical change, and intellectual property. Here are some lists of past presentations:

Fall 2005    Fall 2004    Fall 2003    Fall 2002    Fall 2001    Fall 2000    Fall 1999    Fall 1998        prior to 1998

We encourage presentation by graduate students in early stages of research, and have occasionally had students present discussion of a set of papers by others on a specific topic that is of general interest to the group. Anyone who would like to speak in Spring 2006 should contact Bronwyn Hall via email.
