Mukherjee, Arijit - EconWPA - 2002
This paper compares profits and consumer surplus under non-cooperation and collusion in the product market when the firms have the option for R&D before production. We show that whether R&D investment would be higher under non-cooperation or product market collusion depends on the R\&D...

We provide a theoretical justification for bi-sourcing, which refers to thesituation where a final goods producer buys an input from an outside supplier and alsoproduces it in-house. Bi-sourcing occurs if the marginal cost of producing the input inhouseis higher than the marginal cost of outside...

Patent Protection, Innovation and Technology Licensing
Wang, Leonard F.S; Mukherjee, Arijit - 2015
We show that the common wisdom suggesting higher investment in innovation under a stronger patent protection may not be true if the innovator can license its technology ex‐post innovation. If the initial cost of production is high and the slope of the marginal cost of undertaking innovation is...

Market structure and strategic bi-sourcing
Beladi, Hamid; Mukherjee, Arijit - In: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization 82 (2012) 1, pp. 210-219
We provide a new rationale for bi-sourcing, which refers to the situation where a final goods producer buys an input from an outside supplier and also produces it in-house. We also show the effects of the product market competition and the implications of different and common outside input...

Patent protection under endogenous product differentiation
Mukherjee, Arijit - School of Business and Economics, Loughborough University - 2013
It is generally believed that a weak patent protection makes the consumers and the society better off compared to a strong patent protection by increasing the intensity of competition if the weak patent protection does not affect innovation. We show that this conclusion may not hold if the...
