The important relationship between knowledge and innovation is well established in the literature. However, little is known about how new ventures’ acquisition, assimilation, transformation, and exploitation of knowledge (i.e., their absorptive capacity) affects innovation. We examine the role of the individual components of absorptive capacity on innovation on a sample of new firms in the Swed...

In this paper I study temporary migration and its consequences for immigrant behaviour. A distinction is made between temporary migration where the return time is exogenous and where the migrant chooses when to return. The consequences of both types of temporary migration for migrant behaviour (as opposed to a permanent migration) are illustrated. The specification of the empirical models will ...

As one of the most important geographical units affected by global climate change, lakes are sensitive to climatic changes and are considered “indicators” of climate and the environment. In this study, changes in the spatial-temporal characteristics of the water levels of 204 global major lakes are systematically analyzed using satellite altimetry data (Hydroweb product) from 2002 to 2010. Addi...

While tracking technology has become increasingly accessible, firms still struggle with deploying these technologies into the supply chain. Using the complementary perspectives of transaction cost and institutional theory, we develop an understanding of how supply network, product, and environmental characteristics jointly impact tracking technology assimilation. We empirically test our model o...
