The authors are grateful to Robert Kadlec for an interview that provided inside information filling out our understanding of Operation Warp Speed, to Fatma Ceren Dolay for excellent research assistance, to Santi Ruiz for ably editing and streamlining our prose, and to Heidi Williams and conference participants at the May 2024 NBER Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Economy workshop for helpful comments. The editor, Ben Jones, provided extensive advice that substantially improved the paper.
