Kevin Bryan, Associate Professor from Rotman at the University of Toronto with present to our graduate students and faculty in KTH 334.

Kevin Bryan is an Associate Professor, Strategic Management Area. His work primarily consists of applied theoretical and empirical analyses of innovation and entrepreneurship. Among other questions, he has investigated why firms may do R&D on socially inefficient research projects (including during the Covid-19 pandemic), how startups find early employees and decide where to locate, when and why acquisitions of high-growth startups may be worrying for antitrust, how artificial intelligence can profitably used alongside human workers, what types of science are most useful for inventors in industry, and how rideshare networks function when they compete with each other. His work has been published in the Journal of Economic Theory, the Review of Economics and Statistics, Research Policy, and the University of Chicago Law Review. He maintains a side interest in studying history of thought, the history of the Industrial Revolution, and social scientific methodology.

Bryan will present two talks on Wednesday, firstly from 10:00am-11:00am, the second from 11:30am-12:30pm. Details of his research can be found at http://www.kevinbryanecon.com/research.html.
