Abstract:
Competitive advantage (CA) is an intuitively evident concept which has been widely used in theoretical research in strategy. But CA's diffuse image and its dynamic nature make it a difficult concept to apply. The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive (or macro) CA construct capable of being applied in an empirical manner across a broad spectrum of business situations. This objective required both an adequate grounding of the CA concept within its nomological- net of theories and a new operationalization approach.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses two different topics in the area of competition policy and innovation. In Chapters 2 and 3, I analyse the efficiency of both national and EU leniency programmes in detecting and destabilising cartels. I use industry-level panel data to track the changes in competition intensity as leniency programmes are implemented. The success of the leniency programme is captured by an increase in competition intensity (as measured by a drop in price-cost margins). I then conduct a novel difference-in-differences DD, and a difference-in-difference-in-differences DDD, where I divide the

Abstract:
The thesis collects four essays in the fields of competition and innovation economics. In chapter 1, we review the recent growth literature that analyses the effects of product market competition on growth. Contrary to the negative effect predicted by the early endogenous growth models, this literature emphasises that product market competition may foster innovation and growth. We argue that a common characteristic of this literature is a decrease in the intensity of technological competition relative to the early models, which seems to support the positive link between product market competit

China's banking sector has undergone remarkable changes during the last two decades, and banks in China today face more competitive pressure than ever before. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the efficiency and competition of the major Chinese banks over the period 1985-2002. After reviewing the evolution of the banking sector over the past half-century, the thesis addresses an important aspect of competition: X-efficiency and its potential correlates. X-efficiency is found to be as low as 40%-50% on average, suggesting that it is an important issue which should receive more atte

Does innovation increase or decrease with more competition when innovation follows a memory process? This thesis provides a theoretical model which analyzes the innovation and competition relationship assuming that innovation follows a memory process, i.e. the current probability of innovation success depends on previous periods’ innovation successes. I find innovation increases with more product market competition, even under the Schumpeterian context where inventions are not completely appropriable.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of three papers on completion and conflict in three distinct but related settings. The first paper develops a model of tax compliance and enforcement where homogenous agents receive signals about how tolerant the tax authority is of evasion, and where the latter has imperfect means of detecting evasion. The main results show that increasing the quality of the information that taxpayers have about the tax authority’s tolerance of evasion may increase compliance. This is because if the signals are sufficiently informative, taxpayers are engaged in Bertrand-like competition:

This article employs game theory to contribute to sociolinguistics (or the economics of language). From both the synchronic and the diachronic perspective, we are interested in the conditions (of language learning and literary production) that make some languages dominate others. Two results are particularly noteworthy: (i) Translations have an ambiguous effect on domination. (ii) We offer three different explanations of how a past language like Latin or Sanskrit can develop into a standard for literary production.

One often meets the view that economic regulation should be understood in terms of Pareto efficiency. Economic theories of law have traditionally focused on concepts such as market failure, efficiency, and inefficiency. Proponents assume that under the conditions of perfect competition, rational economic actors will enact courses of action that tend to induce Pareto outcomes. The idea of perfect competition means that markets which are competitive will induce efficient outcomes.

Faraday waves arise on the surface of a liquid in a container that is undergoing vertical periodic oscillations. We investigate two-dimensional Faraday waves in a long rectangular container, both theoretically and experimentally. Hysteresis occurs when both finite amplitude solutions and the flat surface solution are available. We derive a nonlinear model of a standing wave, extending the Lagrangian method of Miles (1976). The model is used to investigate hysteresis. It is found necessary to retain cubic damping, cubic forcing and the fifth-order conservative term in order to achieve agreement

Financial and industrial economists are increasingly recognising the interaction between capital structure and firms' strategies in the product market. A debate exists regarding the nature of the relationship between firms' product market power and financial leverage. Particularly, researchers have asked whether the relationship is positive, negative or non-linear. This thesis contributes to this research agenda by developing game-theoretic models, and conducting empirical tests. Specifically, the thesis examines the effects of market power on a firm's use of long-term debt.
