Competencies and Institutions Fostering High-growth Firms (2008, neutral): “3 treated as “black boxes” (Rosenberg 1982, 1994) even though research scholars have started to open it up; see, e.g., Aghion and Tirole (1994) and Acemoglu et al. (2007).”
From quality to innovation: Evidence from two French Employer Surveys (2009, methodology): “This COI survey has been used by several researchers like Acemoglu et al. (2007) or Aubert et al.”
Owner‐Management, Firm Age, and Productivity in Italian Family Firms (2014, background): “On the one hand, experience fosters firm performance, as competence-enhancing activities implied by ageing favour the implementation of established routines (Acemoglu et al., 2006), or allow firms to better recognise and exploit new technological opportunities (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990).”
Capital Allocation and Delegation of Decision-Making Authority within Firms (2014, background): “Acemoglu et al. (2007) find that a company is more likely to design its units as profit centers (their definition of delegation) when it faces greater uncertainty in decision processes, which the authors argue occurs in firms close to the technology frontier or in industries with large variation in ”
Americans Do I.T. Better: US Multinationals and the Productivity Miracle (2012, background): “Daron Acemoglu et al. ( 2007 ) argue that delegation becomes more attractive when there is uncertainty about the best way to use a new technology.”
The future of skills: employment in 2030 (2017, background): “Decentralisation and the organisational structures and skills which support them appear particularly important for firms closer to the technological frontier, firms in more varied environments and younger firms (Acemoglu et al., 2007).”
Theory and evidence in internal labor markets (2007, background): “Rotember also argues that it can be profitable for a firm to induce altruism in this type of setting by allowing time for socialization 25 Acemoglu et al. (2006) in a recent paper extends the theory to produce testable implications and then provides supporting evidence using both French and British…”
Growing Like China (2011, positive): “Here, we present one such example: Following Daron Acemoglu et al. (2007), we assume that each firm can choose between two modes of production: Either the firm delegates decision authority to its manager, or it retains direct control of strategic decisions.”
Technology and Production Fragmentation: Domestic versus Foreign Sourcing (2016, background): “There is also evidence that technology affects optimal firm boundaries (Baker and Hubbard, 2003, 2004; Acemoglu et al., 2010) and the decentralization of control within a firm (Acemoglu et al., 2007; Bloom et al., 2011).”
