Indices that capture creative destruction: questions and implications
The paper argues that micro and macro economists interested in the dynamics of creative destruction can gain important insights by using indices that capture the effect of innovation on the relative position of firms. This is due to the uneven and “destructive” effect that radical innovation has on firm rankings. One such index is the market share instability index. On the financial side, the e...
متن کاملLegal Origins and Creative Destruction
Building on a model of endogenous innovation à la Romer, we analyze the link between legal institutions, innovation and growth.

متن کاملCreative Destruction in Industries∗
Industries where prices decline rapidly experience early ‘shakeouts’. Existing models of the shakeout do not explain this negative relation between price decline and time to shakeout. We set up a vintage-capital model that explains this relation, and we provide some evidence in support of the mechanism that we propose. The relation emerges naturally in a vintage-capital model in which shakeouts...
متن کاملCreative Destruction and Productive Preemption
We develop a theory of commercialization mode (entry or sale) of entrepreneurial inventions into oligopoly, and show that an invention of higher quality is more likely to be sold (or licensed) to an incumbent due to strategic product market e¤ects on the sales price. Moreover, preemptive acquisitions by incumbents are shown to stimulate the process of creative destruction by increasing the entr...

Technological innovations in inventory, logistics, and sales give grocery chain stores a profitability advantage over old-fashioned local stores. With chain stores advancing, local store incumbents gradually exit. Two questions concerning this creative destruction process are central to competition policy. How do chain stores make entry decisions? How does a chain store’s entry impact incumbent...
