“…This approach to distinguish high and low values of a variable is widely used in the economics and management literature (see, e.g. Alkaersig et al, 2013;Eichengreen & Gupta, 2016;Grjebine & Tripier, 2015;Shi et al, 2019)…”

This study examines whether the level of a country's resilience to shocks moderates the link between the size of the tourism industry and the economic policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic using data from 113 countries. The findings suggest that countries with large tourism sectors responded more aggressively by using economic stimulus packages to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the impact of the tourism sector is moderated by the country's resilience to shocks. The study also finds that both high level of economic resilience and high level of risk quality of a country moderate the link between the tourism sector and the economic policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of the study suggest that tourism businesses in high resilient countries are better prepared to cope with the disruptive challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and thus needed less assistance from governments. Improving a country's resilience to shocks is an important strategy to minimize the impact of future negative shocks in the tourism sector.

“…In addition, our study suggests a particular way of conceptualizing and measuring the rareness of a patented technology and tests it in the context of nanotechnology. Alternative conceptualization and operationalization as well as empirical testing in different industry contexts may lead to different findings (e.g., Alkaersig et al., 2013). Future research that employs multiple operationalization methods applied to our context or other industries would shed light on the scope of applicability of different rareness measures.…”

What makes a technology valuable? Characterizing the value as the degree of impact on subsequent technology development and focusing on the rareness as a composite measure of novelty and conventionality representing the relative position of a technology in a technology space, we advance a theory on the relationship between the rareness and value of a technology as well as the moderating role of search basis in shaping the relationship. We build our theory exploiting the fundamental trade-off between the benefits of adopting a rare technology in pursuing greater recombinant potential and the costs of understanding the rare technology to be adopted and finding complementary technologies for successfully integrating the rare technology in the subsequent technology development process. Using US firm patent data in nanotechnology, we find that the relationship between the rareness and value of a technology exhibits an inverted-U shape, consistent with our theoretical expectation. Further, the search basis of the focal technology moderates this relationship such that the rareness-value relationship becomes steeper when the technology is built on more local knowledge but flatter if the technology embeds more mature knowledge. Our study contributes to the extant literature seeking to illuminate the process by which valuable technologies arise.
