Technological Leadership and Persistence of Monopoly under Endogenous Entry: Static versus Dynamic Analysis∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We build a dynamic oligopoly model with endogenous entry in which a particular firm (leader) invests in an innovation process, facing the subsequent entry of other firms (followers). We identify conditions that make it optimal for the leader in the initial oligopoly situation to undertake pre-emptive R&D investment (strategic predation) eventually resulting in the elimination of all followers. Compared to a static model, the dynamic one provides new insights into the leader’s intertemporal investment choice, its optimal decision making, and the dynamics of the market structure over time. We also contrast the leader’s investment decisions with those of the social planner.

Persistence of Monopoly, Innovation, and R&D Spillovers: Static versus Dynamic Analysis
We build a dynamic duopoly model that accounts for the empirical observation of monopoly persistence in the long run. More specifically, we analyze the conditions under which it is optimal for the market leader in an initially duopoly setup to undertake pre-emptive R&D investment, (“strategic predation” strategy) that eventually leads to exit of the follower firm. The follower is assumed to ben...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Bertrand Price Competition with Cost-Reducing Investments†
We present a dynamic extension of the classic static model of Bertrand price competition that allows competing duopolists to undertake cost-reducing investments in an attempt to “leapfrog” their rival to attain low-cost leadership — at least temporarily. We show that leapfrogging occurs in equilibrium, resolving the Bertrand investment paradox., i.e. leapfrogging explains why firms have an ex a...
متن کاملParametric Study of the Empty and Foam-Filled End-Capped Conical Tubes under quasi Static and Dynamic impact Loads
This paper investigates the parametric study of the empty and foam-filled end-capped tubes under quasi static and dynamic loadings. The numerical crash analysis of the empty and foam-filled tubes was performed using the explicit finite element code ABAQUS- explicit. Satisfactory agreements were generally achieved between the numerical and experimental results. In order to determine the crash be...
متن کاملThree dimensional static and dynamic analysis of thick plates by the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method under different loading conditions
In this paper, three dimensional (3D) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is presented. Using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamic Analysis of Bus Structure and Chassis of O-457
With due attention to the fact that the local and foreign vehicle industries are changing and modifying the previous designs in order to produce new designs, the components of self-propelled are to be differently analyzed. Static and dynamic analysis is one of them. In this paper, chassis and body of a o-457 bus were studied and analyzed under finite element method (using ANSYS).This process wa...
