We report an email field experiment with MIT using messages about the impact of climate change to invite innovators (SBIR grantees) to apply to a technology competition. We vary our messages on the time frame and scale of the human cost of climate change across scientifically valid scenarios. Innovator attention (clicks) is sensitive to climate change messaging. These changes in clicks also predict higher application rates. The response varies by individual characteristics such as location-based exposure to climate change risks and whether innovators have climate-related innovations. Finally, using a structural model of innovator attention, we provide estimates of the implied discount rate of time and the elasticity of attention to lives at stake.</p> <p><a href="https://www.innovationgrowthlab.org/research-network/jorge-guzman">Jorge Guzman</a> and <a href="https://www.innovationgrowthlab.org/research-network/jean-joohyun-oh">Jean Joohyun Oh</a> are part of <a href="https://www.innovationgrowthlab.org/research-network">IGL's Research Network</a></p> The full abstract of the study, if available Links https://www.jorgeguzman.co/_files/ugd/0e8650_03b36a0b536f4f34926eb0b04ee09cbc.pdf Links to any published papers and related discussions Authors * Affiliations Academic and other institutes that the authors of the study are members of Delivery partner Organisations involved in delivering the trial, if appropriate Year Year Year199519961997199819992000200120022003200420052006200720082009201020112012201320142015201620172018201920202021202220232024202520262027 Month MonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec Day Day12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031 Journal Journal publishing the study, if available Publication stage * Working Paper Published Ongoing Research Forthcoming Discussion Paper Research theme * Entrepreneurship Innovation Business Growth Country Country or countries where this study took place.
