Value creation by knowledge‐based ecosystems: evidence from a field study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify two key sources of value creation in knowledge-based ecosystems: facilitation of the innovation process for individual companies and creation of an innovation community, and the coevolution of the ecosystem's business model with firm-level business models explains why technology-based firms join, stay in or leave the ecosystem at a certain point in time.

Tax Analysis in an Oligopoly Model

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.
