In this paper, we design a theoretical model to analyze the impact of the number of firms on investment in the wireless … communications industry. Our model extends the Salop’s framework by introducing investment in quality that either reduces the … their incentives to invest in quality.

This paper empirically assesses the impact of the intensity of competition on investment in new technologies within the …-U relationship between competition intensity and investment. The intermediate level of competition intensity that maximizes … investment stands at 62 percent, whereby competition intensity is measured by 1-Lerner index at the firm level. This means that …

The impact of market structure on investment is an important topic in the mobile industry. However, previous literature … mobile operators to investigate its impact on investment, taking into account market share asymmetry and the adjustment cost … of investment. The empirical analysis is backed by a theoretical model that introduces vertical differentiation in a …

We study the dual relationship between market structure and prices and between market structure and investment in …. Furthermore, they also lead to higher investment per mobile operator, though the impact on total investment is not conclusive. Our …

This paper investigates the relationship between competition and investment in the wireless industry from a dynamic …-U shaped, with an investment maximising intensity of competition at 60 or 63 percent, depending on whether capital expenditures … are normalised by the number of subscribers. This finding means that investment increases with competition as long as …
