Faculty Profile
Dr. Brent Goldfarb is
Associate Professor of
Management and Entrepreneurship
in the M&O Department at the
University of Maryland's Robert
H. Smith School of Business.
Goldfarb's research focuses on
how the production and exchange
of technology differs from more
traditional economic goods, with
a focus on the implications on
the role of startups in the
economy. He focuses on such
questions as how do markets and
employer policies affect
incentives to discover new
commercially valuable
technologies and when is it best
to commercialize them through
new technology-based firms? Why
do radical technologies appear
to be the domain of startups?
And how big was the dot.com
boom? Copies of Dr. Goldfarb's
publications and working papers
have been downloaded over 1200
times.
