Why are some uncompetitive industry sectors so effective in lobbying for greater protection and support? This paper attempts to explain the lobbying success of these industries in terms of the strategic role of investment in technology as a credible commitment device. By eschewing potentially profitable investment opportunities firms credibly signal to the government that the cost of a tariff r...
متن کاملInnovation Cycles∗
We embed frictions in the sale of ideas in a relatively standard real business cycle model. Inventors own ideas that they can either inefficiently implement on their own, or implement them efficiently in partnership with firms. However, firms can steal ideas; they are likely to do so if the idea is of sufficiently high quality. Introducing this agency problem in a dynamic general equilibrium mo...

We find that VC-backed firms receiving their initial investment in hot markets are less likely to IPO, but conditional on going public are valued higher on the day of their IPO, have more patents and have more citations to their patents. Our results suggest that VCs invest in riskier and more innovative startups in hot markets (rather than just worse firms). This is true even for the most exper...

In the model, an innovative sector determines endogenously the long-run growth rate of the economy, and research exhibits positive...
متن کاملGlobalization and Synchronization of Innovation Cycles By

As the trade cost falls and intra-industry trade rises, they become synchronized. This is because globalization leads to the alignment of innovation incentives across firms based in different countries, as they operate in the increasingly global (he...
