DESCRIPTION:Prof. Katrin Hussinger\, University of Luxembourg\n"Intellectu
 al Property Rights and University Science"\n\nAbstract\nWe investigate the
  impact of the introduction of software patents in the U.S. on the publica
 tion volume and quality of university researchers in the field of computer
  science. A difference-in-difference approach that compares U.S. scientist
 s to a benchmark group of European peers reveals that the introduction of 
 software patents in the U.S. led to a smaller quantity of higher quality p
 ublications. We find that this is caused by scientists with lower quality 
 publications changing from publishing to patenting. Based on these results
  we can reject the concern that the introduction of patent rights had a ne
 gative impact on university science\, but rather opens new opportunities f
 or a part of the heterogeneous pool of researchers.\n
