Concerns have arisen that grants supporting predetermined projects may unintentionally encourage incremental research, prompting governments to explore different funding approaches. For instance, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) initiated the Excellent Young Scientists Fund (EYS), a prestigious talent funding program designed to support junior scientists. Given that radical innovation is a key concern for contemporary China, we empirically estimate the impact of the EYS program on scientific productivity, citation impact, and the generation of radical research. Utilizing a unique dataset, we find that the EYS program enhances both the productivity and citation impact of early-career Chinese scientists. Strikingly, we observe that EYS investigators tend to consolidate current science, resulting in a reduction of disruption compared to their counterparts. We propose several theories to explain this reduced level of disruption, with a particular focus on research strategies. Our investigations suggest that exploitation strategies and a focus on publishing hot-topic papers contribute to this observed effect. These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of funding and hold important policy implications for supporting disruptive research endeavors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141978480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using computational models, we find that a one-sided focus on either innovation or imitation impedes technological leadership changes. Also, findings suggest that at early stages with low-level technologies, latecomers should prioritize imitation by allocating more resources to it. However, as they advance, a greater allocation of R&D resources to innovation becomes crucial. Next, we investigate the role of various technological regime variables in the interplay between this innovation-imitation mix. First, our simulations indicate that under a regime of low appropriability and high cumulativeness, allocating more resources to imitation tends to be more effective than focusing on innovation. Second, our simulations reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between CTT and the probability of latecomers overtaking industry leaders. There exists a certain level of CTT that maximizes the overtaking possibility because a short CTT offers latecomers opportunities from rapid obsolescence of leaders’ technologies but constrains latecomers’ learning from existing technologies. With a short CTT, it is advantageous for latecomers, particularly those starting with a low technology level, to allocate more resources to imitation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings revealed that implementing the PDPS significantly enhanced firms' innovation quantity by mitigating financial constraints and reducing risks However, concerning innovation quality, establishing a PDPS may hinder innovation novelty because of the limited availability of scarce data resources and information. Further analysis indicated that the above relationships became more pronounced when companies faced a heightened demand for personal data protection from the market, such as businesses facing a favorable economic institutional environment, businesses engaged in overseas operations, those operating in private data-sensitive industries, and those confronting cyber-attack threats. Additionally, firms' adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies resulted in a more significant effect of the PDPS on innovation quantity promotion and mitigated the inhibition of innovation quality. This study contributes to the existing research on privacy regulations and the determinants of corporate innovation. Unlike policy-event studies on personal data protection laws, this study focuses on the economic consequences of companies voluntarily implementing a PDPS and comprehensively characterizes its impact on corporate innovation behavior from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Practical implications are also offered to the government, suggesting how to formulate relevant policies to promote a balance between enforcing policies and encouraging companies to autonomously enhance the PDPS, which is beneficial for fostering innovation in terms of quality and quantity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How UK business academics respond to the Academic Journal Guide","authors":"","doi":"10.1016/j.respol.2024.105082","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.respol.2024.105082","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Journal lists for the assessment of academic performance are widely used worldwide and inform many important decisions, such as, academic workload, salary, hiring, promotion, and tenure. The use of such lists, however, has long been a very controversial area in academia. Surprisingly, to date, there has been little empirical research investigating directly how journal lists have influenced publishing patterns by academics. This paper examines how the Academic Journal Guide (AJG) produced by the Chartered association of Business Schools has influenced the publishing patterns of UK academics by observing the authorship of over 400,000 papers published between 1 January 2011 and 30 June 2021. In terms of the AJG ratings, UK researchers have improved the quality of their research outputs over the period. There is strong evidence, however, that researchers in subject areas primarily associated with business schools are targeting the ratings rather than other measures of research quality. In these areas, journals that have been promoted/demoted in the AJG list have a higher/lower proportion of papers by UK researchers than similar journals that have not changed status. In addition, journals that have been promoted unjustifiably by reference to other metrics attract particularly high proportions of papers by UK researchers whereas those that have been demoted justifiably attract particularly low proportions of papers by UK researchers. Overall, whilst researchers are responding to publishing incentives, one of their strategies for doing so seems to be to game the AJG list. I discuss the implications of my findings and ways in which the negative aspects could be reduced.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733324001318/pdfft?md5=384d0c43e5eb9a88ac558e8b8b313b1d&pid=1-s2.0-S0048733324001318-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141950183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
