Asymmetric Payoffs and Spatial CompetitionJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 17 - Trang 29-41 - 2016
Yusuke Zennyo
We investigate the location choice of two firms whose objectives are the weighted average of their own profit and social welfare, in which they simultaneously decide their locations before setting their prices. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the asymmetric locations are influenced by the asymmetry of the firms’ objectives or by the asymmetry of firms’ marginal costs. We show that,...... hiện toàn bộ
Aiding Car Producers in the EU: Money in Search of a StrategyJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 13 - Trang 67-87 - 2012
Marcella Nicolini, Carlo Scarpa, Paola Valbonesi
This article investigates how the general principles of the Treaty have been applied to the car sector in the EU, where the soft law provisions are of particular interest. A detailed quantitative analysis from 1990 to 2008 highlights a reduction of aid over time. A shift from sectoral to “regional development” motives in granting aid to the sector is also observed in the last 10 years. However, se...... hiện toàn bộ
Flexible Ubers and Fixed Taxis: the Effect of Fuel Prices on Car ServicesJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 21 - Trang 139-168 - 2021
Thomas J. Weinandy, Michael J. Ryan
This paper is the first to empirically compare the impact of fuel price on ridership of taxicabs and transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft. We build a theoretical model of the car service market to demonstrate how drivers under the two systems may have different reactions to fuel prices. Although all drivers pay for their own gasoline, TNC drivers have more flexibility in redu...... hiện toàn bộ
The Exponential Age Distribution and the Pareto Firm Size DistributionJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 10 - Trang 389-395 - 2010
Alex Coad
Recent work drawing on data for large and small firms has shown a Pareto distribution of firm size. We begin by showing that the firm age distribution is well approximated by an exponential distribution. We then mix a Gibrat-type growth process among incumbents with an exponential distribution of firm’s age, to obtain the empirically-observed Pareto distribution.
Simulating Effects of Business Decisions on Regional Economy Experience During the California Energy CrisisJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 2 - Trang 143-158 - 2002
Ottie Nabors, George Backus, Jeff Amlin
Over the last 30 years, simulation models have become accepted by the business sector as a means to understand the interaction of business decisions with their market environment. Public utilities have a history in using static models to forecast demand growth and develop “least cost resource plans.” The effects of the California energy crisis were felt well outside the borders of that state. In t...... hiện toàn bộ
Explaining the Current Innovative R&D Outsourcing to Developing CountriesJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 19 - Trang 211-234 - 2018
Zachary Cohle
While multinational firms from developed countries have used researchers from emerging areas to assist in the adaption of an existing product, few multinational firms have carried out innovative R&D, or R&D for the creation of a new product, in these areas. Using the threat of imitation and wage differences of researchers across regions, this study proposes a partial equilibrium model to explain t...... hiện toàn bộ
Determinants of Firm R&D: The Role of Relationship-Specific Interactions for R&D SpilloversJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - Tập 12 - Trang 395-411 - 2011
Patrik Gustavsson Tingvall, Andreas Poldahl
Research and Development (R&D) is a key component behind technological development and economic growth; therefore, understanding the drivers of R&D is crucial. An interesting question is the role of technology spillovers, transferred by trade, and their impact on firm R&D. Here we analyze not only how international and domestic inter- and intra-industry technology spillovers affect firm R&D but al...... hiện toàn bộ
Import Diversion under European Antidumping PolicyJournal of Industry, Competition and Trade - - 2001
Jozef Konings, Hylke Vandenbussche, Linda Springael
This paper studies empirically the effects of European antidumping cases on trade diversion from importers “named” in an antidumping investigation, to countries “not named” in the investigation. For this purpose we use a unique data set at the 8-digit product level. The amount of import diversion can be regarded as an indication of the effectiveness of antidumping policy. We find that trade divers...... hiện toàn bộ
