Recombinant Innovation, Novel Ideas, and the Start of Nobel Prize–Winning Work
基于重组创新视角，研究新地点或多地点经历如何通过接触新颖想法组合，缩短诺贝尔奖得主开始获奖工作的预期时间。
ABSTRACT We draw on a recombinant view of innovation, where being in a new location and/or multiple locations leads to exposure to novel combinations of ideas that increase the creativity of top scientists. Using a rich, unique data set we helped assemble, we estimate the empirical relationship between being in a new location and/or multiple locations and the expected interval before an eventual Nobel laureate (ENL) commences their prize‐winning work. We find that being in a new location and in multiple locations are substantially and significantly associated with a shorter expected interval before ENLs commence their prize‐winning work.
