On what will turn out to be a completely impersonal note, I also have a page entitled [[Dating Ed]]. It has received almost 5,500 hits and has got me exactly zero dates. Perhaps, I should have gone with less formal econ?==About Me==
==Ed's Papers==
My recent publications include:
*Brander, James A., Edward J. Egan and Thomas F. Hellmann (2009), "Government Sponsored Venture Capital in Canada: Effects on Value Creation, Competition and Innovation", in International Differences in Entrepreneurship, edited by J.Lerner and A. Schoar, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Working and draft papers are available in my [[Papers]] section.
==Ed's Projects==
Some projects (which may or may not have associated papers) have their own sections. These are predominantly for collaboration with other co-authors and/or stakeholders, so access may be restricted to some sections.
Academic projects include:
*[[Entrepreneurship Research Boot Camp| The NBER Entrepreneurship Research Boot Camp]]
*[[NBER Patent Data | The NBER Patent Data Project]]
*[[VC Bargaining]] - Restricted Access Only
*[[Classifying Names by Culture]]

Access to some sections of this site is restricted. Generally, when a [[Projects|research project]] is in development, access to its materials are restricted to co-authors and research assistants. Once a project is finished (or sometimes abandoned), I usually open up access. The materials posted are all copyrighted. Copyleft applies to other people's work, and if there isn't attribution, you should assume that all rights are reserved. Scripts and data can often be used free of charge for academic (or non-profit) work, but you may not resell them and you should inform me of any improvements.
Aside from [[Profile|details about me]], my research [[Papers|papers]] and [[Projects|projects]], and my [[Courses|course]] material (whether taught or learnt), this site contains research computing help pages (like [[Research Computing At Haas|research computing at Haas]], [[Working with PostgreSQL]|working with Postgres], [[NBER Account Setup|how to set up an NBER Account]], [[Help using LaTeX|help using LaTeX]], and [[PhD Masterclass - How to Build a Web Crawler|how to build a web-crawler]]) and data resources (like [[Data Dictionaries|data dictionaries]] for [http://wrds.wharton.upenn.edu/ WRDS] and Thomson SDC Platinum are available from my [[Ed's Repository | repository]], and a section about [[NBER Patent Data | The the NBER Patent Data Project]]).
There are also some helpful pages for all academics, even non-economists, like [[Jim Brander's Rules of Writing]] and my teaching guide '[[How to effectively hinder learning]] - a guide for teachers'. Likewise, sometimes I include pages of [[musings]]. On what will turn out to be a completely impersonal note, I also have a page entitled '[[Dating Ed]]'. It has received almost 5,500 hits and has got me exactly zero dates. Perhaps, I should have gone with less formal econ?
My name is Ed Egan, and I'm an academic. I do research at the intersection of two topic areas: the '''financing of entrepreneurship''' and the '''economics of innovation'''. I apply industrial organization economics and corporate finance to entrepreneurship and business strategy and my specialty is the use of micro-data in large scale empirical analysis. For more information see my [[Research Statement|research statement]].
I'm a candidate for Assistant Professor positions in the fields of '''Strategy''', '''Business Economics''', and '''Corporate Finance''' on the 2013/2014 academic job market. I'll be available for interview during or following the 2014 Annual Meeting of American Economics Association, between January 3rd and 7th in Philadelphia and you can get my [[Job Market Applications|job market applications material from here]].
I'm currently the Innovation Policy Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research under Professors Scott Stern and Josh Lerner, and I completed my Ph.D. in business administration, with a dual focus on strategy & business economics (in the BPP group) and finance at the Haas School of Business, U.C. Berkeley, in May of 2012, under the supervision of Professors David Teece, Toby Stuart, Michael Katz, and Bronwyn Hall. I then spent the 2012/2013 academic year as a post-doctoral fellow at the Sauder School of Business, U.B.C., under my long-term mentors Jim Brander and Thomas Hellmann. You can see a complete details of my education, academic positions, awards and honors, and more on [[Profile|profile]] page or by downloading my [[Media:EdEgan_-_CurriculumVitae.pdf|academic curriculum vitae]] (in pdf format).
