Verifying high quality : entry for sale

Norbäck, Pehr-Johan; Persson, Lars; Svensson, Roger - 2017

When and how do entrepreneurs sell their inventions? To address this issue, we develop an endogenous entry-sale asymmetric information oligopoly model. We show that lowquality inventions are sold directly or used for own entry. Inventors who sell post-entry use entry to credibly reveal...

Subsidizing away exports? : a note on R&D-policy towards multinational firms

Norbäck, Pehr-Johan - 2010

In this paper, I investigate whether instead of strengthening home-based production, government R&D-subsidies can induce R&D-intensive firms to locate production abroad.

Cross-border acquisitions and restructuring : multinational enterprises versus private equity-firms

Baziki, Selva Bahar; Norbäck, Pehr-Johan; Persson, Lars; … - 2015

An increasingly large share of cross-border acquisitions are undertaken by private equity-firms (PE-firms) and not by traditional multinational enterprises (MNEs). We propose a model of crossborder acquisitions in which MNEs and PE-firms compete over domestic assets. MNEs' advantage lies in...
