| Summary: | The common topic of this collection of studies is the interaction between innovative activity and industrial structure. This interaction is represented in a modelization via dynamic games. An integrated framework to model innovation and market competition with sequential innovative entry is developed. The framework can be used to analyze both product and process innovations. Furthermore, an analysis of the incentives firms have to strategically defer information relevation about successful innovation (and therefore delayed commercial use) is undertaken. A last topic discussed is the influence of financial constraints on innovational efforts of both constrained and unconstrained firms under competition. Beside these topics a systematic and thorough survey of the newest game theoretical literature is provided. |
