It provides an overview of the U.S. wartime research program, reviews quantitative evidence on the effects of the overall wartime research shock on postwar patenting, describes the wartime medical research effort, and summarizes case studies of five major wartime medical research programs (penicillin, antimalarials, vaccines, blood substitutes, and hormones) and their effects on postwar R&D. It concludes by drawing out implications for crisis innovation and the direction of innovation in general, discussing mechanisms through which crises may have long-run effects, and highlighting hypotheses warranting further investigation. 000046655 542__ $$fCC BY 4.0 WIPO 000046655 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 000046655 650_0 $$aResearch$$zUnited States. 000046655 650_4 $$aMedical innovation 000046655 7001_ $$aSampat, Bhaven,$$eauthor 000046655 830_0 $$aEconomics Working Papers ;$$vno. 70. 000046655 8564_ $$w2abda192-8e31-4270-a747-358b9a065407$$s1163319$$fwipo-pub-econstat-wp-70-en-second-world-war-and-the-direction-of-medical-innovation.pdf$$fwipo-pub-econstat-wp-70-en-second-world-war-and-the-direction-of-medical-innovation.pdf$$uhttps://tind.wipo.int/record/46655/files/wipo-pub-econstat-wp-70-en-second-world-war-and-the-direction-of-medical-innovation.pdf 000046655 85648 $$3Abstract with links to full text$$uhttps://dx.doi.org/10.34667/tind.46655 000046655 901__ $$aWIPO/PUB/ECONSTAT/WP/70 000046655 902__ $$a46655_en 000046655 903__ $$aEconomics working papers 000046655 904__ $$aWorking paper 000046655 909__ $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:46655$$pWIPOPUB 000046655 909__ $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:46655$$pWIPOPUB 000046655 909CO $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:46655$$pWIPOPUB 000046655 980__ $$aWIPOPUB$$aERWP
