Immediate Agreement in Interdependent Bilateral Bargaining
Björnerstedt, Jonas; Stennek, Johan - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2007
This note provides sufficient conditions for immediate agreement in an extensive form model of interdependent bilateral bargaining. The model is suggested by Björnerstedt and Stennek (2006) as a work horse for studying bilateral oligopoly. The key feature of this model is that the firms are...

Bilateral Oligopoly
Björnerstedt, Jonas; Stennek, Johan - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2001
In intermediate goods markets, both buyers and sellers normally have market power, and sales are based on bilaterally negotiated contracts specifying both price and quantity. In our model, pairs of buyers and sellers meet in bilateral but interdependent Rubinstein-Ståhl negotiations. The...

The Firm as a Pool of Factor Complementarities
Lindbeck, Assar; Snower, Dennis J. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2003
This paper presents a new approach to the theory of the firm by identifying factor complementarities as central to the determination of the firm's boundaries. The factor complementarities may take a variety of forms: technological and informational complementarities, as well as economies of...

Venture Capitalists, Asymmetric Information, and Ownership in the Innovation Process
Fabrizi, Simona; Lippert, Steffen; Norbäck, Pehr-Johan; … - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2008
In this paper we construct a model in which entrepreneurial innovations are sold into oligopolistic industries and where adverse selection problems between entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and incumbents are present. We show that as exacerbated development by better-informed venture-backed...

Productivity Dynamics and the Role of “Big-Box” Entrants in Retailing
Maican, Florin; Orth, Matilda - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2012
use a dynamic model to measure the impact of large entrants on productivity, allowing for a controlled productivity …, we find that incumbents' productivity increase after large entry and that the magnitude of the increase declines with the … productivity of incumbents. Our findings highlight that large entrants play a crucial role in driving productivity growth. …

Evolution and Refinement with Endogenous Mistake Probabilities
van Damme, Eric; Weibull, Jörgen W. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1999
Bergin and Lipman (1996) show that the refinement effect from the random mutations in the adaptive population dynamics in Kandori, Mailath and rob (1993) and Young (1993) is due to restrictions on how these mutation rates vary across population states. We here model mutation rates as...
