We found that states that implemented the social liberalization policies subsequently experienced a significant increase of 5% to 6% in their innovation output. In contrast, the passage of an additional abortion restriction in a state was followed by an average 1% decline in its innovation output. The chart below shows the average effects of the legalization of same-sex civil unions and the legalization of medical marijuana on state-level innovation output over time. Social policies had a very significant impact on the rates of innovation in a state.
Our findings show increases of 22% and 17% in inventors’ number of new collaborators, i.e. other inventors with whom they had never worked before, subsequent to legalization of same-sex unions and medical marijuana, respectively.
boil this down user. this is bullshit >lefty policy >lefty states >major corps PR firms incorporate lefty crowd pleasing >politicians implement lefty policy to attract lefty business
>top % of earners (bka, people that have the resources for developing something that needs a patent) are lefty = >Choose lefty states
you could also correlate crime and poverty instead of "new patents", but as we know! Correlation =/= Causation
Landon Jenkins
having haaaavaad publish a "gay" study that supports it, is like the msm publishing a poll that states hillary has a 97% of winning an election.. PURE GARBAGE! go back to you're hole and don't forget your gerbil...
Hunter Rogers
How? What prevented all of these great scientist to apply their patents before same sex marriages and weed legalization? Also : you don't see that much "innovation" coming out from Portugal or Jamaica.

Jason Wood
You haven't refuted any posts, the study is moot and a PR tactic not anything of any value.
Let your thread die, leave Sup Forums forever, and take your gerbil with you.
Oh Yah. Cause Harvard says so. HINT ... How long has Gay arrange been legal ? NOW , how long does the AVERAGE marriage last ? BEFORE it implodes goes full postal and both happy people are now HATEFUL EX partners fighting over the kids,dogs,cats whatever? DEFINE PRODUCTIVE ??? ONLY thing the HARVARD study proves , Is that a HARVARD education isn't worth SHIT. Idiot propaganda. Time to paraquat the Ivy League

correlation does not imply causation, nigger faggot
Levi Robinson
To disentangle correlation and causation, we relied on a number of methods. Our main empirical strategy is based on comparing the change in the patenting rate of states that have implemented a policy to those that have not yet, while controlling for a wide range of state-level factors such as past innovation rate, state total expenditure, total business R&D expenditure, population, educated population, individual and corporate tax rates, house prices, real per capita personal income, and the political mixture of state senate and house.
A major concern in our study is the direction of causality. We want to make sure that we are capturing the effect of policies on innovation and not the other way around. To address this concern, we show that the pre-legalization patenting rate of states cannot statistically predict the implementation of these policies. Moreover, we show that there is no pre-trends in innovation rate of states that have implemented these policies. The change in patenting rate of states starts approximately three years after the implementation of policies.
We also show that the effects we are capturing are not the result of some underlying trends in the patenting rates of states that implemented these policies. If the results are driven by underlying trends unrelated to these policies, the actual policy dates should not matter. To test this idea, we created a bunch of fake policy dates and show that the results do not hold when we use these fake dates. The effects only show up when we use the actual policy dates.
Finally, we checked for any other concurrent policies that could potentially drive our results, but couldn’t find any.

explain how more faggots and weed leads to advancement.
retard.
Jackson Lopez
They don't know for certain they just know that patent filing and other measures of innovation improve starting a few years after these policies are implemented.

DUDE WEED
the industrial revolution HAPPENED because of weed dude!
Sebastian Foster
All this text and no explanation of how weed and faggots equal innovation.

What explains the link between these policies and innovation? Our analysis suggests a two-step process. First, social liberalization policies can promote more diverse social interactions among individuals. Recent works in political science have shown that social liberalization policies influence individuals’ attitudes towards openness and diversity, inspiring higher levels of social diversity, increasing general trust, and promoting interactions between individuals with more diverse views, life styles, and racial-ethnic backgrounds. It is a tacit process and observing it is not straightforward.
diversity gets you mentally ill people chopping their penis off and forming a faux-vagina abomination.

Christopher Smith
they cite all this bullshit... and tie it to POLITICAL SCIENCE? ARE THEY RETARDED?
yes
Isaiah Nelson
weed should be legal but this is a perfect case of correlation doesn't equal causation. I could just as easily chart the extinction of rhinos with increasing innovation.
innovation in What? inventing genders? becoming overly tolerant? elevating sexual deviance to a protected and celebrated art? creating ridiculous laws to infringe on speech and other rights? there has been no real innovation since 1945 everything is derivative of that
So basically, society more liberal = people more liberal, still no explanation of how weed and faggots bring innovation.

>Silicon Valley businesses hire millions of mostly white and Asian cishet men to invent things >Silicon Valley businesses file millions of patents, most of them meaningless, thanks to Obama's first-to-file bullshit >monopolization of intellectual property continues to consolidate within California >government-enforced monopolies generate lots of tax revenue to waste on meaningless virtue-signalling vote-pandering bullshit >neoliberal government allows endless monopolization to continue unchecked >meanwhile, South Korea hates faggots and potheads and has been beating us on transistor sizes for the last decade, where we previously excelled for decades prior Really makes you think
Nathaniel Gray
Look faggot, it all comes down to one (1) thing. It's PR (PUBLIC RELATIONS). There'a reason public relations is a trillion $ industry. DO YOU NOT THINK COLORADO'S CONSTANT POSITIVE NEWS COVERAGE 3 YEARS AGO ABOUT WEED LEGALIZATION AND HOW GREAT IT IS (PUBLIC PERCEPTION) DIDN'T DRIVE MULTIBILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRIES TO CONSIDER THEM MORE THAN ANOTHER AREA/STATE? DO YOU THINK THAT POSSIBLY WEED GROWING TACTICS ARE BEING PATENTED (not so much this "innovation" progress driving patenting that you and your study is implying).
You can see this socially, in groups, everyone wants to be around the cool kid because that indirectly means they are cool. That's all this is, boards and investors tactically utilizing the gestalt to capitalize, and now it's being manipulated to push an agenda.
It's bullshit user, no fucking fuck off.
Henry Taylor
Or maybe there is more money from pe/VC firms thanks to places like China taking part now. As a result patents have increased.
It just so happened gay marriage happened at the same time as more money from VC firms came in.
Innovation increase every year. Recent turbo leftist policies promote degeneracy. Look, degeneracy is good for progress! Fuck of faggot.
Jacob Gonzalez
True to an extent... You're not considering why it was in these liberal policy implementing states though.
Can I work at Harvard yet? So, no.

Gay marriage fosters creativity and freedom. Israel #1. Harvard studies teach goyim good-think. Israel #1. Cannabis is best way to unwind. Israel #1. Best to combine gay sex and cannabis. Israel #1.
Matthew Gonzalez
Anyone else feeling blackpilled? Nearly every young couple (and even some boomers) I see is interracial IRL or on facebook. I live in north Florida and it's at least 70%. Even seen some white couples with a mixed kid in the last few days. I don't think studies have exposed how bad it really is. How do we reverse this trend?
This is literally a correlation = causation level shit study. By this same logic, me being born lowered crime, the sale of Harry Potter books lowered crime, and president Obama being elected decreased the rate of plane crashes. These correlation studies are a joke in academia
