DESCRIPTION:Prof. Alessandro Iaria\, ENSAE\n"Frontier Knowledge and Scient
 ific Production: Evidence from the Collapse of International Science in th
 e Wake of WWI "\n\nAbstract\nWe analyze the role of frontier knowledge for
  scientific production. First\, we show that citing frontier work is corre
 lated with writing hit papers. Second\, we investigate a period of reduced
  international knowledge flows during WWI and the subsequent boycott again
 st scientists from Central countries. During this period\, knowledge flows
  between scientists from Allied and Central countries were substantially r
 educed\, as measured by citations in scientific papers. Even frontier pape
 rs experienced substantial reductions in citations from scientists in oppo
 sing camps. Additional results indicate that the reduction in citations we
 re predominately driven by a reduction in supply of foreign knowledge\, ra
 ther than a fall in demand. Third\, we show that scientists in field times
  country combinations that were more dependent on frontier knowledge from 
 the enemy camp published fewer and lower quality papers after the onset of
  the war\, compared to scientists in field times country combinations that
  sourced the majority of their frontier knowledge from home.
