4/20/2016 - Heidi Williams (MIT) - How Do Patents Affect Follow-on Innovation? Evidence from the Human Genome , at CGIS Knafel K354, Wednesday, April 20, 2016
Title: How Do Patents Affect Follow-on Innovation? Evidence from the Human Genome 
With Bhaven Sampat
Abstract: 
We investigate whether patents on human genes have affected
follow-on scientific research and product development. Using
administrative data on successful and unsuccessful patent applications
submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office, we link the exact gene
sequences claimed in each application with data measuring follow-on

4/27/2016 - Dina Pomeranz (Harvard) - "Can Audits Backfire? Evidence from Public Procurement in Chile", at CGIS Knafel K354, Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Title: "Can Audits Backfire? Evidence from Public Procurement in Chile"
Abstract: The government is the biggest buyer in the economy of most countries. At the same time, the public procurement process if often thought to be fraught with waste and corruption. For this reason, many governments try to promote the use of online auctions instead of direct contracting by public entities. We analyze the  impact of audits aimed at reducing such malpractice in public procurement on public entities' subsequent procurement practices in Chile. For identi cation, we...

datatags-crosas-sweeney-bar-sinai.pdf
Presented by Mercè Crosas, Michael Bar-Sinai and Latanya Sweeney.
Society generates data on a scale previously unimagined. Wide sharing of these data promises to improve important aspects of life such as health and education, by increasing their quality and lowering their cost. However, these same data often include sensitive information about people that could cause serious harms if shared widely. A multitude of regulations, laws and best practices protect data that contain sensitive personal information.
