Entrepreneurship and Innovation Seminar Series

Introduction

In order to provide a forum for scholars working on issues related to entrepreneurship, the McGuire Center hosts the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Seminar (EIS) in the Eller College of Management.

Objectives and Coverage

Research topics of relevance include (but are certainly not limited to):

University technology transfer and entrepreneurship
Impact of monetary incentives and intrinsic motivation on entrepreneurship
Impact of tax policy on entrepreneurial activity
Venture (and other financial) capital, including the design of financial contracts
Use and enforcement of intellectual property in entrepreneurial firms
Mobility of scientists and its impact on knowledge spillovers and innovation
Sociological and economic determinants of network formation and its implications for entrepreneurship
Behavioral and experimental psychology and economics as applied to entrepreneurship

Interested social scientists and legal scholars in the Eller College of Management and colleagues from other departments within The University of Arizona are cordially invited to participate on a regular basis. Subject to budgetary and scheduling constraints, the plan is to try to alternate between presentations by scholars from The University of Arizona and invited speakers from other universities.

If you have an interest in presenting a paper at one of the EIS seminars, or if you have suggestions for outside academic speakers whom we may wish to invite, please contact us.
