[Abstract]
When are scientific advances in academia commercialized via startup formation? Prior literature has identified several contributing factors, but the commercial potential of a nascent discovery is generally unobserved and potentially confounds inference. We construct a sample of over 20,000 “twin” scientific articles, which allows us hold constant differences in the nature of the advance and more precisely examine characteristics that predict startup commercialization. In this framework, several commonly-accepted factors appear not to influence commercialization. However, we find that teams of academic scientists whose former collaborators include “star” serial entrepreneurs are much more likely to commercialize their own discoveries via startups, as are more interdisciplinary teams of scientists.
