Driving forces for standardization at standardization development organizations
TL;DR: The results show that R&D-intensive sectors standardize very actively; additionally, intellectual property rights play an important role and standardization increases with the concentration of the enterprises up to a certain threshold, where standardization activities decline again.
Choosing the Rules for Formal Standardization
TL;DR: Farrell as mentioned in this paper explored the tradeoffs between speed and the quality of the outcome in a private-information model of the war of attrition and alternative mechanisms, and showed that the war can be excessively slow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modularity in Technology, Organization, and Society
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make use of both the literature on modular design and the literature of property rights to create the outlines of a modularity theory of the firm, which can be seen as a generalization of the notion of common law.

Effects of Reputational Sanctions on the Competitive Imitation of Design Innovations
Gerda Gemser,Nachoem M. Wijnberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether and under what conditions reputational sanctions are a strong deterrent to imitative firm behaviour and found that reputations can be an effective barrier to imitation, when firms perceive a reputation for innovation to be a factor in their competitive success.

Monopoly, quality, and regulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that under regimes of monopoly and monopolistic competition, product characteristics (which are often endogenous variables) are not usually optimally set under the pressure of market forces, and that regulation is also beset with difficulties when price and quality are decision variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical Mass and Tariff Structure in Electronic Communications Markets
Shmuel S. Oren,Stephen A. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an economic model that determines both the required critical mass size for startup and the ultimate expansion level of such a system and evaluated the effects of different pricing structures for the service under the assumption that users maximize benefits minus cost and a monopoly supplier maximizes profit.

Tax Analysis in an Oligopoly Model
Michael L. Katz,Harvey S. Rosen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the conjectural variations model of oligopoly to analyze the way in which the incidence of a tax depends upon the pattern of firm interaction and show that the errors that arise in excess burden calculations when incorrect assumptions on market structure are made.
