In this paper we analyze R&D collaboration networks in industries where firms are competitors in the product market. Firms' benefits from collaborations arise by sharing knowledge about a cost-reducing technology. By forming collaborations, however, firms also change their own competitive...

This paper investigates the effects of uncertainty emanating from technological improvements on the optimal lifetime of … technological change. From the analysis it turns out that in general this type of uncertainty shortens the optimal lifetime of … assets. More specifically, the analysis shows that: replacement under uncertainty leads to optimal lifetimes of assets that …

This paper considers technology adoption under both technological and subsidy uncertainties. Uncertainty in subsidies … a drift. The analytical solution is presented for cases when there is no subsidy uncertainty and when the subsidy …

This paper studies technology adoption in a duopoly where the unbiased technological change improves production efficiency. Technological progress is exogenous and modeled as a jump process with a drift. There is always a Markov perfect equilibrium in which the firm with more efficient...

We consider the problem of the optimal use of a good whose consumption can produce damages in the future. Scientific progress is made over time that provides information on the distribution of the intensity of damages. We show that this progress induces earlier prevention effort only if prudence...

We consider a firm under strict liability that must choose between two risky technologies, one being safer but costlier … liability, technological change is welfare improving and leads to full risk internalization when the firms are sufficiently … unlimited liability than under limited liability. We show how an adequate tax policy increases this percentage. We also …
