Scott Stern was an assistant professor of management at the MIT Sloan School of Management from 1995 to 2001 and a non-resident senior fellow of the Brookings Institution from 2001 to 2003. He is the co-organizer of the National Bureau of Economic Research's Innovation Policy and the Economy Working Group, and is a senior fellow of the Searle Center on Law, Regulation, and Economic Growth. Stern explores how innovation - the production and distribution of ideas - differs from more traditional economic goods, and the implications of these differences for business and public policy.
His research often focuses on life sciences industries at the intersection between industrial organization and the economics of technical change. Stern's recent studies examine the drivers of commercialization strategy for technology entrepreneurs, the determinants of R&D productivity, and the role of incentives and organizational design on the process of innovation.
He is an associate editor of Management Science, the Journal of Industrial Economics, and the International Journal of Industrial Organization. Stern serves on the board of management of the International Schumpeter Society, and has served on the editorial boards of the Antitrust Law Journal and the Journal of Business and Economics Statistics. In 2005, he was awarded the first Ewing Marion Kauffman Prize Medal for Distinguished Research in Entrepreneurship.
Stern holds a BA in economics from New York University and a PhD in economics from Stanford University. Close«
