Our analysis shows that excess mortality led to an increase in patenting activity in counties with high pre-war education levels, driven predominantly by innovations in labor-saving technologies. Our estimates imply that an additional 6,000 patents were filed in the 15 years following the war, amounting roughly to the average annual number of patents filed pre-war. On the contrary, we show that the direct death of inventors (as opposed to general mortality) has a negative effect on subsequent patenting activity. We find a positive association between war-related mortality and wage growth as well as with the adoption of machines in the agricultural sector, providing additional evidence that incentives to escape labor scarcity are driving the innovation response to mortality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There will be an opportunity to schedule individual meetings with Cl\u00e9ment before the seminar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please enter your preferred time slot <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1gLdNyza81HXbjZFsmOOdwOsuzuVTmued\/edit?gid=1675343544#gid=1675343544\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escaping Labor Scarcity:\u00a0Innovation and Human Capital after WW1 in France<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":16799,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[160],"class_list":["post-20515","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-seminaires-en","cat_seminaires-en","entry","has-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/20515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/20515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20515"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i3-cnrs.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=20515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
