| dc.description.abstract | This paper investigates whether oil price booms have an effect on innovation in countries with
abundant oil & gas reserves. To quantify innovation within all sectors of a country objectively,
patent data is used. Using a linear regression, it is shown that patent applications decrease
during times of increasing oil prices in comparison to countries without oil & gas reserves.
Country and year fixed effects are included. The observed negative effect remains present after
various robustness checks. The mechanisms leading to these results are expected to be
crowding out effects at the individual, business and governmental level. | en_US |
