DESCRIPTION:Dr. Antonio Della Malva\, KU Leuven\n"The gravity of scientifi
 c disclosure in technological competition"Abstract\nThe voluntary disclosu
 re of R&D outcomes by firms is receiving increasing attention by scholars 
 and practitioners. In this paper\, we shed led on the impact of scientific
  publications by firms on the choice of technological trajectories and com
 petition by rivals. We test our predictions using a representative sample 
 of US American firms from the semiconductor industry. By relying on a grav
 ity model that contrasts every firm directly with its competitors\, we sho
 w that scientific publications of a focal firm incentivizes competitors to
  build on this knowledge. This effect is increasing if the firm receiving 
 information has built up a specific scientific absorptive capacity. We int
 erpret our findings as being consistent with the view that firms can activ
 ely influence the R&D strategies of competitors by strategically disclosin
 g knowledge.
