Do New Competitors, New Customers, New Suppliers, ... Sustain, Destroy Or Create Competitive Advantage?, Michael D. Ryall, Glenn Macdonald
Do New Competitors, New Customers, New Suppliers, ... Sustain, Destroy Or Create Competitive Advantage?, Michael D. Ryall, Glenn Macdonald
Michael D Ryall
We examine the effect of entry on the value appropriated by an incumbent. By ``entrant’’ we mean at any level of the value chain — from raw material suppliers to buyers. Our specific concern is whether competition guarantees the incumbent some positive minimum level of profit. We demonstrate that the net effect of entry is subtle — even when the entrant is a perfect imitator. On the one hand, entry typically results in greater value creation. This tends to soften competition and, thereby, lower the incumbent’s minimum level of appropriation. At the same time, however, entry also creates new competitive …
Inventing Around Edison’S Lamp Patent: The Role Of Patents In Stimulating Downstream Development And Competition, Ron D. Katznelson, John Howells
Inventing Around Edison’S Lamp Patent: The Role Of Patents In Stimulating Downstream Development And Competition, Ron D. Katznelson, John Howells
Ron D. Katznelson
We provide the first detailed empirical study of inventing around patent claims. The enforcement of Edison’s incandescent lamp patent in 1891-1894 stimulated a surge of patenting. Most of these later patents disclosed inventions around the Edison patent. Some of these patents introduced important new technology in their own right and became prior art for new fields, indicating that invention around patents contributes to dynamic efficiency. Contrary to widespread contemporary understanding, the Edison lamp patent did not suppress technological advance in electric lighting. The market position of General Electric (“GE”), the Edison patent-owner, weakened through the period of this patent’s enforcement.
Government Induced Bubbles, Danilo Lopomo Beteto Wegner
Government Induced Bubbles, Danilo Lopomo Beteto Wegner
Danilo Lopomo Beteto Wegner
A model to study how the possibility of government intervention during market crashes impacts the investment decision of agents is developed. With crashes representing bubble burst episodes and a government policy rule based on their magnitude, it is shown that the possibility of intervention creates incentives for investors to inflate bubbles, as large bubbles (i) maximize capital gains if they do not burst and (ii) make intervention more likely, thus minimizing losses. Bubbles should be larger the less fragile the economy, the less costly the intervention and the more liquid the asset. Intervention increases welfare in extremely fragile economies.
