Patent Protection and Strategic Delays in Technology Development: Implications for Economic GrowthSouthern Economic Journal - Tập 78 Số 1 - Trang 211-232 - 2011
Maggie Xiaoyang Chen, Murat Iyigun
We present an endogenous growth model in which both the investment to develop a new technology—that upgrades the quality of machines—and entry of imitators are determined endogenously. According to the model, how soon the new‐technology machine is launched after the patent is granted is influenced by two factors: returns to scale in technology development and “strategic delays.” Strategic ...... hiện toàn bộ
R&D and the Export Decision of New FirmsSouthern Economic Journal - Tập 78 Số 1 - Trang 191-210 - 2011
Charles Braymen, Kristie Briggs, Jessica Boulware
Recent literature on the firm‐level decision to export has focused on identifying factors that influence the export decision by firms regardless of the number of years they have been in operation. This article, alternatively, examines the factors that influence new firms to export within the first four years of operation. The results support two key findings that have commonly emerged from...... hiện toàn bộ

Modeling Credit Card Borrowing: A Comparison of Type I and Type II Tobit ApproachesSouthern Economic Journal - Tập 70 Số 1 - Trang 128-143 - 2003
Insik Min, Jong‐Ho Kim
This study focuses on credit cards as a borrowing medium using 1998 Survey of Consumer Finance data. The type II Tobit approach used here overcomes a shortcoming of the conventional type I Tobit model, which restricts the coefficients of the binary borrowing decision (the first step) and balance level decision (the second step) to have the same sign. By separatel...... hiện toàn bộ
A Meta‐Analysis of the Investment‐Uncertainty RelationshipSouthern Economic Journal - Tập 76 Số 1 - Trang 283-306 - 2009
Mark J. Koetse, H.L.F. de Groot, Raymond J.G.M. Florax
In this article we use meta‐analysis to investigate the investment‐uncertainty relationship. We focus on the direction and statistical significance of empirical estimates. Specifically, we estimate an ordered probit model and transform the estimated coefficients into marginal effects to reflect the changes in the probability of finding a significantly negative estimate, an insignificant es...... hiện toàn bộ
