DESCRIPTION:Prof. Olof Ejermo\, Lund University\n"Incubators\, innovation 
 and productivity"\n\nAbstract\nThe innovative effects of innovation progra
 ms have been notoriously difficult to capture in the literature. This pape
 r contributes with quantitative evidence for individuals that have obtaine
 d support from the Swedish incubator program. In order to arrive at a plau
 sibly causal effect\, CEOs and employees are followed in a matched sample 
 difference-in-differences setting using patents as our innovation indicato
 r. Incubator CEOs are found to increase their patenting dramatically compa
 red to before incubation and a matched control group. We also find a posit
 ive effect for employees\, but this result is sensitive to specification a
 nd sample. Productivity evidence using wages reveal a positive effect for 
 CEOs but a slight negative effect for employees. The main conclusion is th
 at incubators stimulate innovation for individuals at the heart of busines
 s\, which could be expected to result in long run growth effects.\n
