Pricing Knowledge and Funding Research of New Technology Sectors in a Growth Model

Abstract: A radical evolution in intellectual property law and practices has followed the rise in importance of new technology industries. Nowadays, many patents directly protect knowledge. To account for this evolution, we construct a simple R&D-based growth model where pieces of knowledge are directly protected by patents. To deal with the nonconvexity property of technologies in which knowledge is an input and show how research can be funded privately, we construct a dynamic general equilibrium with Cournot competition and free entry where knowledge is exchanged on markets that can be subject to imperfect exclusion. Under the assumption of perfect exclusion, we show that research is funded optimally as the distortion caused by the knowledge spillover vanishes when markets are complete. We then argue and demonstrate that insufficient research investments leading to an insufficient level of growth can be explained by the public good nature of knowledge itself, i.e., the problem of imperfect exclusion faced by the sellers of knowledge.

The Effect of Seeking Resource Diversity on Post-Alliance Innovation Outcomes:

Abstract: Prior research has studied the influence of R&D resource diversity, but such work only examined a single level of resource diversity. Although alliance partners engage in multiple levels of resourc...

GDDs with Two Associate Classes and with Three Groups of Sizes 1, n, n and λ1<λ2

Abstract: A group divisible design GDDv=1+n+n,3, 3, λ 1, λ 2 is an ordered pair $V, \mathcal{B}$ where V is an 1+n+n-set of symbols and $\mathcal{B}$ is a collection of 3-subsets called blocks of V satisfying the following properties: the 1+n+n-set is divided into 3 groups of sizes 1, n and n; each pair of symbols from the same group occurs in exactly λ 1 blocks in $\mathcal{B}$ ; and each pair of symbols from different groups occurs in exactly λ 2 blocks in $\mathcal{B}$ . Let λ 1, λ 2 be positive integers. Then the spectrum of λ 1, λ 2, denoted by Specλ 1, λ 2, is defined by Specλ 1, λ 2={n∈i¾?: a GDDv=1+n+n,3, 3, λ 1, λ 2i¾?exists}. We found in [10] the spectrum Specλ 1, λ 2 provided that λ 1i¾?λ 2 in all situations. We find in this paper Specλ 1, λ 2 when λ 1<λ 2 in all situations.

Annealing of metal wire by atmospheric pressure discharge plasma

Abstract: A manufacturing process of fine wire is mainly consisted of 3 following processes 1) The drawing process, 2) The cleaning process, and 3) The annealing process In this study, the possible application of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma to the annealing of metallic wire was examined and presented The main purposes of the study are as followings; 1) to investigate the annealing effect by using the plasma, 2) to examine the surface cleaning effect for the cylindrical object by the atmospheric pressure plasma In the previous study, it was shown that the annealing of wire was possible by the plasma Then, it was shown that surface cleaning was also possible by the plasma exposure From these results, the possibility of the rationalization of fine wire manufacturing process was able to be shown
