Research Interests
Nicole’s research interests focus on the theory of innovation and endogenous growth, as well as network theory. During her PhD, she studied the effect of risk aversion on an endogenous growth model of occupational choice and developed a model of the evolution of the patent citations network. She also investigated the effect of technological distance on knowledge diffusion, approximated by patent citations.
