364-1013-02LPerspectives on Organizational KnowledgeW1 KP1GZ. Erden Özkol
KurzbeschreibungThis module aims to introduce major theoretical perspectives on organizational knowledge and to improve the competence of doctoral students to publish in relevant research areas. How knowledge is conceptualized and what aspects of knowledge are being studied depends on the epistemological and ontological assumptions accepted by researchers.
LernzielThis module aims:
· to provide a basic understanding of key theoretical perspectives on organizational knowledge.
· to provide insights on the research questions, methods, findings and implications of the selected papers.
· to build skills in critically analyzing the literature.
· to identify future directions in the area.
InhaltGiven its prominence in the history of organization science, an impressive variety of theories have evolved that deals with organizational epistemology, the way of knowing in the organization (e.g., Brown & Duguid, 1991; Grant, 1996; Kogut & Zander, 1992; Lave & Wenger, 1991; Nonaka, 1994; Spender, 1996; Tsoukas, 1996; von Krogh et al., 1994). In this module, students will learn about various seminal contributions in the area of organizational knowledge and make connections between theory and empirical research, and identify the ongoing trends and future research directions.
Session 1: Knowledge based view of the firm.
Session 2: Knowledge sharing and transfer
Session 3: Social practice view on knowledge and knowing

363-1036-00LEmpirical Innovation EconomicsW3 KP2GM. Wörter
KurzbeschreibungThe course focuses on important factors that drive the innovation performance of firms, like innovation capabilities, the use of digital technologies, environmental policy and it shows how innovation activities relate to firm performance and to the technological dynamic of industries. Hence, the course provides an understanding of the relationship between technical change and industrial dynamics.
LernzielThe course provides students with the basic skills to understand and assess empirically the technological activities of firms and the technological dynamics of industries.
InhaltThe course consists of two parts. Part I provides an introduction into important topics in the field of the economics of innovation. Part II consists of empirical exercises based on various data sets, e.g., the KOF Innovation Data, data about the digitization of firms, or patent data. In part I we will learn about ...a) market conditions that encourage firms to invest in R&D (Research and Development) and develop new products. ...b) the role of universities for the technological activities of a firm (technology transfer). ...c) how technologies diffuse among firms. ...d) how the R&D activities of firms are affected by economic crises and how firms finance their R&D activities. ...e) how we can measure the returns to R&D activities. ...f) how (environmental) policies affect the technological activities of a firm. In part II we will use the KOF Innovation Survey Data, data on digitization of firms, or other data sources, to investigate empirically the technological activities of firms in relation to the topics introduced in part I.

364-0585-01LPhD Course: Applied EconometricsW2 KP2SP. Egger
KurzbeschreibungIn this course, we will address three blocs of selected problems: (i) estimation of fixed and random effects panel data models for single equations and systems of equations; (ii) estimation of models with endogenous treatment effects or sample selection; (iii) estimation of models with interdependent data (so-called spatial models).
LernzielThe main agenda of this course is to familiarize students with the estimation of econometric problems with three alternative types of problems: (i) estimation of fixed and random effects panel data models for single equations and systems of equations; (ii) estimation of models with endogenous treatment effects or sample selection; (iii) estimation of models with interdependent data (so-called spatial models). Students will be able to program estimation routines for such problems in STATA and apply them to data-sets. They will be given a data-set and will have to work out empirical problems in the context of a term paper.
SkriptFor panel data analysis, I will rely on the book:
Baltagi, Badi H. (2005), Econometric Analysis of Panel Data, Wiley: Chichester.

For sample selection and endogenous treatment effect analysis, I will rely on the book:
Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. (2002), Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data, MIT Press: Cambridge, MA.

For spatial econometrics:
I will mostly use papers.

I will prepare a script (based on slides), covering all topics.
