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 …

We investigate how competition in product niches affects the ultimate timing of product release for experience goods … sales based on the variation in the level of competition in these particular niches over time. We show that release date of … motion pictures are more likely rescheduled when there is more competition during the initially proposed release week. Next …

this paper, we take a close look at competition among the generic entrants during the first three years after patent … expiration and examine whether there is a first mover advantage. We specify a random effect nested logit model of competition … that allows for competition between the brand drug and generics, and among multiple generic drugs. The model accommodates …

I investigate whether two mechanisms leading to biased beliefs about success, overconfidence and competition neglect … making their decision. Second, I vary whether the competition group consists of all potential competitors or only of …

and competition from the fringe. We argue that when dominance is derived from first-mover advantages and innovation … feedback loops, rather than high and non-transitory barriers to entry, competition policy and regulation should avoid … from anti-competitive foreclosing abuses rather than from competition on the merits …
