摘要

利用 251,511 位专利发明人的面板数据与包含党派归属的选民登记记录进行匹配，我们首次对美国发明家的党派归属进行了大规模研究。我们发现，发明者的典型代表是共和党人，发明者的党派构成发生了变化，而这些变化并不能反映更广泛人群的党派倾向。我们随后表明，发明家的党派背景与枪支和气候变化相关的技术发明有关，而这两个问题领域与党派分歧有关。这些发现表明，发明者的党派倾向可能会影响发明活动的方向。

The partisanship of American inventors

Using panel data on 251,511 patent inventors matched with voter registration records containing partisan affiliation, we provide the first large-scale look into the partisanship of American inventors. We document that the modal inventor is Republican and that the partisan composition of inventors has changed in ways that are not reflective of partisan affiliation trends amongst the broader population. We then show that the partisan affiliation of inventors is associated with technological invention related to guns and climate change, two issue areas associated with partisan divide. These findings suggest that inventor partisanship may have implications for the direction of inventive activity.

期刊介绍： Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
