This paper studies a simple model of experimentation and innovation. Our analysis suggests that patents may improve the … project to implement. A successful innovation can be copied by other firms. Symmetric equilibria (where actions do not depend … equilibria). In contrast to patents, subsidies to experimentation, research, or innovation cannot typically achieve this …

analysis proceeds in stages. It begins with an exogenous rate of innovation in order to focus on the first two components. The … last two components are added by endogenizing the rate of innovation. Finally, the paper considers the role of foreign …

We study the relationship between market structure and innovation in the global automobile industry from 1982 to 2004 … using the dynamic industry framework of Ericson and Pakes (1995). Firms optimally choose a continuous level of innovation in … parameter -- the cost of innovation. In terms of the relationship between market structure and innovation, we find that: (1) At …

Furthermore, there is path dependence in the type of innovation both from aggregate spillovers … and from the firm's own innovation history. Using our model we simulate the increases in carbon taxes needed to allow …
