The Lindahl Equilibrium in Schumpeterian Growth Models: Knowledge Diffusion, Social Value of Innovations and Optimal R&D Incentives
Gray, Elie; Grimaud, André - CESifo - 2014
What is the social value of innovations in Schumpeterian growth models? This issue is tackled by introducing the … concept of Lindahl equilibrium in a standard endogenous growth model with vertical innovations which is extended by explicitly … value of innovations with the social one. This comparison sheds a new light on the consequences of non-rivalry of knowledge …

Creative Destruction and Productive Preemption
Norbäck, Pehr-Johan; Persson, Lars; Svensson, Roger - CESifo - 2013
We develop a theory of innovation for entry and sale into oligopoly, and show that inventions of higher quality are more likely to be sold (or licensed) to an incumbent due to strategic product market effects on the sales price. Such preemptive acquisitions by incumbents are shown to stimulate...

FRAND Royalties and Injunctions for Standard Essential Patents
Choi, Jay Pil - CESifo - 2014
I develop a stylized model of court procedures that resolve disputes concerning FRAND-encumbered standard essential patents (SEPs). I analyze the effects of injunctions and potential court-imposed FRAND rates on negotiated royalty rates. The SEP-holders’ ability to hold-up is constrained by...

Asymmetric Neutrality Regulation and Innovation at the Edges: Fixed vs. Mobile Networks
Choi, Jay Pil; Jeon, Doh-Shin; Kim, Byung-Cheol - CESifo - 2014
We study how net neutrality regulations affect a high-bandwidth content provider’s (CP) investment incentives in quality of services (QoS). We find that the effects crucially depend on network capacity levels. With limited capacity, as in mobile networks, prioritized delivery services are...

Does Public Education Expansion Lead to Trickle-Down Growth?
Böhm, Sebastian; Grossmann, Volker; Steger, Thomas - CESifo - 2014
The paper revisits the debate on trickle-down growth in view of the widely discussed evolution of the earnings and income distribution that followed a massive public expansion of higher education. We propose a dynamic general equilibrium model to dynamically evaluate whether economic growth...
