Gains from Product Variety and the Local Business Cycle∗
Net product entry is procyclical, which amplifies fluctuations in consumer welfare over the cycle if consumers have love for variety. Using barcode-level data covering grocery expenditures in 26 major cities, I establish that differences in city-level product entry are largely uncorrelated with local economic conditions. I provide evidence that city-level changes in product variety over the bus...
متن کاملPartial Licensing of Product Innovations ∗
We study the incentives of a product innovator to license its product “partially” to a potential entrant. In a duopolistic setting we consider product design of a modular nature, which enables the incumbent to license some modules of its innovation. Competition is characterized by the size of the shared component of the product which determines the degree of product differentiation. Therefore, ...
متن کاملEndogenous Efficiency Gains from Mergers with and without Product Differentiation*
This paper analyzes endogenous efficiency gains from mergers. It considers oligopolistic homogeneous good markets and duopolistic and triopolistic markets under product differentiation (quantity and price competition). In a two-stage game, firms invest in cost-reducing innovation (with and without mergers) and then compete in output/prices. It is found that in homogeneous good markets, all poss...
متن کاملStrategic Licensing of Product Innovations
Obtaining a patent provides the patentee with the ability to offer a potential entrant a license to operate within the patent that has been claimed. This paper shows that the patentee always has an incentive to provide a license if the patentee is unable to use patent breadth to deter entry (if the patentee can deter entry, it is optimal for the patentee to do so). Licensing a new product to a ...
متن کاملPCR product with strands of unequal length.
Biochemical properties of ssDNA mnolecules compare interestingly with those of RNA: ssDNAs capable of binding target molecules ( 1-3) or cataltzing relactions (4-5) have been isolated from synthetic pools of randomii-sequenLce ssDNAs by repeated cycles of ini vitro selection and PCR amplification. The neC.ative (-) strands of the PCR product, while necessary foiaimplificaltionl. can interfere w...
