It is often argued that multinationals are reluctant to transfer technology due to the fear of spillovers. We show that this need not be the case if host country policies like taxation are taken into account. Furthermore, we examine the incentives the multinational and the host country have to...

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the results obtained by Sklivas (1987) and Fershtman and Judd (1987) allowing for non-linear demand functions, many players and general attitudes to the risk by the players. We also generalize their set-up by introducing a more general measure of th...

In this paper I analyze the kind of behavior which can be considered evolutively stable in an oligopolistic market

In this paper we study the conjecture that oligopoly or imperfect competition causes more inflation than perfect competiton. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for this to occur.

This paper attempts to provide an explanation for the productivity paradox. We show how this paradox may emerge in oligopolistic markets.

In this paper we study the allocations yielded by kinked demand curves. We will see that there are several difficulties with this concept. Some of them can be eliminated by the consideration of reasonable conjectures

This paper analyzes the effects of a potential spillover on technology transfer of a multinational enterprise and on the host country policy. In particular, we examine how both parties' incentives can be controlled through the ownership structure in an international joint venture. In contrast to...

This paper studies the effect of technology spillovers on the entry decision of a multinational enterprise into a foreign market. Two alternative entry modes for a foreign direct investment are considered: Greenfield investment versus acquisition. We find that with quantity competition a...

This paper studies the entry decision of a multinational enterprise into a foreign market. Two alternative entry modes for a foreign direct investment are considered: Greenfield investment versus acquisition. In contrast to existing approaches, the acquisition price and the profits under both...
