Competition through Technical Progress
The relationship between technical progress and price competition is a controversial issue in economics. This paper highlights the fact that investment in technical progress is an authentic type of competition which benefits the consumers rather than the industry. This type of competition exists when the potential for technical progress, which can be incorporated by firms through investment, is...
متن کاملMalmquist and Törnqvist Productivity Indexes: Returns to Scale and Technical Progress with Imperfect Competition
Caves, Christensen and Diewert proposed a method for estimating a theoretical productivity index for a firm using Törnqvist input and output indexes, augmented by exogenous estimates of local returns to scale. However, in order to implement their method, they assumed that the firm maximized revenue in each period, conditional on the observed input vector in each period, taking output prices as ...
متن کاملCapital Accumulation and Embodied Technological Progress
This paper combines technology adoption with capital accumulation taking into account technological progress. We model this as a multi-stage optimal control problem and solve it using the corresponding maximum principle. The model with linear revenue can be solved analytically, while the model with market power is solved numerically. We obtain that investment jumps upwards right at the moment t...
متن کاملBanking Competition, Capital Accumulation, and Monetary Policy
In recent years, the increased concentration of activity in the banking system has received much attention. This paper studies the implications of concentration in the banking sector for economic activity. Changes in the competitive structure affect investment, risk-sharing, and social welfare. A key aspect of our analysis is that banks in more concentrated systems allocate a lot of resources t...
متن کاملCredit quantity and credit quality: Bank competition and capital accumulation
In this paper we show that bank competition has an intrinsically ambiguous impact on capital accumulation. We further show that it is also responsible for the emergence of development traps in economies that otherwise would be characterized by unique equilibria. These results explain the conflicting evidence emerging from the recent empirical studies of the effects of bank competition on econom...
