Empirical studies have uncovered an inverted-U relationship between product-market competition and innovation. This is … inconsistent with the original Schumpeterian Model, where greater competition reduces the profitability of innovation. We show that … the model can predict the inverted-U if the innovators' talent is heterogenous, and privately observable. With competition …

In this survey, we focus on four important aspects, namely: (i) the role of competition and market structure … institutions; and (iv) the emergence and impact of long-term technological waves.
