This paper empirically assesses the impact of the intensity of competition on investment in new technologies within the …-U relationship between competition intensity and investment. The intermediate level of competition intensity that maximizes … investment stands at 62 percent, whereby competition intensity is measured by 1-Lerner index at the firm level. This means that …

The impact of market structure on investment is an important topic in the mobile industry. However, previous literature … mobile operators to investigate its impact on investment, taking into account market share asymmetry and the adjustment cost … of investment.

In this paper, we design a theoretical model to analyze the impact of the number of firms on investment in the wireless … communications industry. Our model extends the Salop's framework by introducing investment in quality that either reduces the … their incentives to invest in quality.
