Research

His research is mainly about topics in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation. The analysis of employment effects of new firms is at the heart of his work. He developed together with David B. Audretsch the conceptual model of regional growth regimes. Thereby, regions are classified in accordance to the level of the regional start-up rate and employment growth.[3] With regard to innovation research, his main focus is on regional innovation systems, the division of innovative labor between different actors, and the efficiency of innovation systems. Michael Fritsch also did significant research on the importance of universities for the regional innovation system in general and the innovative activities of private firms in particular.

One topic of his recent research attracted much interest by the media. It is about the relationship between cultural amenities and economic growth. With his co-authors he shows that those German regions which had an opera house in the baroque era around the year 1800 have nowadays a higher regional growth by as much as 2 percentage points than regions without an opera house in the baroque era. This finding suggests that policy makers should carefully assess whether reducing cultural spending really pays off. [4] This finding was covered by the New York Times and other media.[5] [6]
