SUMMARY:Luise Eisfeld  (TSE) "Entry and Acquisitions in Software Markets"
DESCRIPTION:The Micro Seminar:\nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: 26th of January 2023 \nRoom 3001 \nLuise Eisfeld (TSE) “Entry and Acquisitions in Software Markets” \nAbstract : “How do acquisitions of young\, innovative\, venture capital-funded firms (startups) affect firms’ incentives to enter a market? I create a product-level dataset of enterprise software\, and use textual analysis to identify competing firms. Motivated by new stylized facts on startup acquisitions in software\, I build and estimate a dynamic model of startups’ entry decisions in the face of these acquisitions. In the model\, acquisitions can affect returns to entry (1) by affecting market structure\, and (2) by providing an entry-for-buyout incentive to potential entrants. Using the parameter estimates\, I simulate how startup entry would evolve over time if merger control was tightened. The simulations reveal that\, if all startup acquisitions were blocked\, entry would decline on the order of 8-20% in some markets. In contrast\, I find suggestive evidence that blocking mergers between established industry players and more mature startups might increase entry. These findings indicate that case-by-case merger review can best foster sustained startup entry. ” \n  \nSponsors:\nCREST \n

SUMMARY:Lucas Drouhot (Utrecht University) "Integration or fragmentation ? Cultural diversity and friendship networks among European adolescents"
DESCRIPTION:Sociology Seminar: Thursdays\nTime: 12:30 pm – 1:45 pm – \nDate: 26th of January 2023\nPlace: 3105 \nLucas Drouhot (Utrecht University) “Integration or fragmentation ? Cultural diversity and friendship networks among European adolescents” \n  \nZOOM : \nhttps://zoom.us/j/92485284918?pwd=TmhUZkpoMnZ3VUZLdGNKM1JWT3NYQT09 \nID de réunion : 924 8528 4918 \nCode secret : 510661 \n  \nAbstract : Does diversity lead to social fragmentation or integration? This question animates recent research on ethnic homophily – the tendency to form relationships with others of similar national origins. While national origins seems like a reasonable proxy for subjectively felt commonality underlying ethnic homophily\, we deem it implausible that friendship ties are shaped by such “passport homophily” in practice. Based on data from hundreds of classroom friendship networks in four European countries\, we find that national origins diversity is indeed entangled with linguistic and religious diversity. We fit ERG models for friendship ties across ethnic\, linguistic and religious groups. Through a random-effects meta-regression analysis\, we show that ethnic and linguistic homophily similarly peak around moderate levels of ethnic and linguistic diversity. Religious homophily\, by contrast\, increases linearly with religious diversity. Overall\, these results point to a divergence in tie formation mechanisms embedded in elementary differences between major domains of cultural difference. \nSofian EL ATIFI\, Etienne OLLION\, Patrick PRÄG (Pôle de Sociologie du CREST)\nSponsors :\nCREST \n
