R&D-Hindering Collusion
No full textIn an extended version of d’Aspremont and Jacquemin’s (1988) R&D competition model, we identify a region where the game is a prisoner’s dilemma in that region firms’ optimal strategy still prescribes to invest in R&D. However, they would obtain a higher profit by not investing at all. A standard Folk Theorem argument suggests that firms implicitly tend to collude and refrain from investing in R&D when their interaction is repeated. When this happens, social welfare shrinks, but we argue that promoting joint research constitutes a remedy to the lack of innovation efforts,
rather than the excess thereof
DISCLOSING VERSUS WITHHOLDING TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE IN A DUOPOLY
No full textWe study firms' incentives to transfer knowledge about production technology to a rival in a Cournot duopoly. In a setting where two technologies are available, a technology is characterized by its associated cost function and no single technology is strictly superior to the other. A firm has superior information if it knows both techniques and the other only one. Cost efficiency may be 'reversed' after the voluntary disclosure, so that the rival's costs are improved at the equilibrium level of output. Adding R&D investments to the picture, we find that a firm can decide to invest just for the purpose of acquiring knowledge that will be transferred and not used. Furthermore, for the same point in the parameter space, the acquisition of full knowledge may occur or not as a function of the initial distribution of information.

Valiéndose de una gran destreza narrativa, la autora desanda el camino mediante el cual se concretaron y dieron forma sus proyectos. Con el fin de problematizar el trabajo previo a la obra terminada, en este libro su interés se centra en lo que nadie ve, es decir, en la "trastienda" de la historia.From the experience gained through his vast career as a researcher and also as a university professor, Caimari decided in La vida en el archivo to think about the practice of historical research. Using a great narrative dexterity, the author retraces the path by which her projects were concreted and shaped.

Strategic Accessibility Competition
No full textWe analyze the effect of competition in market-accessibility enhancement among quality-differentiated firms. Firms are located in regions with different ex-ante transport costs to reach the final market. We characterize the equilibrium of the two-stage game in which firms first invest to improve market accessibility and then compete in prices. Efforts in accessibility improvement crucially depend on the interplay between the willingness to pay for the quality premium of the median consumer and the ex-ante difference in accessibility between regions. From the social standpoint, all the accessibility investment should be carried out by the high-quality firm. Finally quality choice is endogenized.

R&D-hindering collusion
No full textIn an extended version of d'Aspremont and Jacquemin's (1988) R&D competition model we find a region where the game is a prisoner's dilemma: firms still invest in R&D but they would obtain a higher profit by not investing at all. In a repeated version of the game, we prove that firms implicitly tend to collude and refrain from investing in R&D, thus decreasing social welfare. When this happens, inviting firms to form a joint venture appears as a remedy to the lack of innovation efforts rather than the excess thereof
