Following Gilbert and Shapiro (1990), we define … in the downstream sector increases the incentives of agents to do R&D in that sector but discourages innovation in the … downstream sector slows it down. We show that regardless of parameter values, welfare maximizing, rate of innovation maximizing …

In this paper we build an endogenous growth model where human capital and ideas are complements in the long-run equilibrium and technological progress takes the form of a continuous increase in the number of horizontally differentiated varieties of intermediate inputs. One peculiarity of the...

We analyze the impact of obsolescence of economic inventions by incorporating maintenance costsin the endogenous growth model of expanding product varieties. This contrasts with the existingliterature, which ignores maintenance costs and uses the model of quality improvements todescribe...
