More resources allow regulators to enforce both targets. With low compliance costs, firms comply with both targets. But for high compliance costs, the additional resources for regulators can backfire - now firms prioritize!

🚨NEW WORKING PAPER 🚨

Can more resources for regulators improve firms' compliance?

@jgambato.bsky.social @juliakraemer.bsky.social & I demonstrate how expanding regulators' resources can backfire when the success of detecting firms' noncompliance varies for different regulatory targets.

Also, notice a strong upward trend in defense-related patent filings in Europe by US applicants.

Same (if not stronger) US trend when we look at USPTO patents; also, similar trends for EU27 and UK.

And, same downward trend for German defense-patent filings (with a dip during the great recession)

EUR 150 billion for #defense investments is a lot of dough for (preferably?) European producers.

Production capacities aside, where does Europe stand in the race for #innovative weapons and defense systems?

Patents at EPO paint a (partial) picture
