The Arrow Effect under Competitive R&D

نویسنده

  • Guido Cozzi
چکیده

This paper shows that standard Schumpeterian theory does not imply that the incumbent monopolist has too little incentive to carry out R&D aimed at displacing its own product. If the patent holder is rational as is any other R&D investor, she will know that in equilibrium her patent’s obsolescence shall not be affected by her own R&D investment, because all the R&D firms operate under perfect competition and constant returns to scale at the private level. This reconciles Schumpeterian theory with the empirical evidence on innovation by incumbents. It is proved that the usual macroeconomic implications maintain their validity.

The computation of approximate competitive equilibrium is PPAD-hard

Arrow and Debreu showed in 1954 that, under mild conditions, a competitive economy always has an equilibrium. In this paper, we show that, given a competitive economy that fully respects all the conditions of Arrow-Debreu’s existence theorem, for any positive constant h > 0, it is PPAD-hard to compute a 1 nh -approximate competitive equilibrium.

Financial Innovation, Collateral, and Investment

We show that financial innovations that change the collateral capacity of assets in the economy can affect investment even in the absence of any shift in utilities, productivity, or asset payoffs. First we show that the ability to leverage an asset by selling non-contingent promises can generate over-investment compared to the Arrow-Debreu level. Second, we show that the introduction of naked C...
