Do direct R&D subsidies lead to the monopolization of R&D in the economy?
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Ebersberger, Bernd - 2010
This paper explores the impact of R&D subsidies on the concentration of R&D in an economy. First, governments are often criticized of subsidizing predominantly larger firms and thus contribute to persistence of leadership in markets and higher barriers to entry, and, hence, reduced competition...

Recent trade models determine the equilibrium distribution of firm-level efficiency endogenously and show that freer trade shifts the distribution towards higher average productivity due to entry and exit of firms. These models ignore the possibility that freer trade also alters the firm-size...

Size-Dependent Regulations, Firm Size Distribution, and Reallocation
