About the Laboratory
The International Laboratory of Intangible-driven Economy traces its origins to a research group that has been working in the field of intellectual capital and empirical finance at the HSE-Perm for the last eight years.
By carrying out comparative empirical research that develops awareness of intellectual resources as key drivers in the new economy, the Laboratory aims to become an international research centre that focuses on the role of intangibles in creating sustainable competitive advantages.
The research team includes both leading scholars and young fellows from the HSE and partner universities in Europe and the United States.

Cybersports players are better at playing online
In competitions, esports players, like other athletes, face stress and perform worse due to the pressure of responsibility. The situation worsens when the outcome of the game is decided in overtime. However, during online tournaments, performance drops less significantly than in matches with spectators — the difference can reach up to 30%. This was revealed by a study conducted by a team of authors from IDLAB, the Moscow campus of the HSE, and the European University Viadrina. The article was published in the prestigious Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization.
