Show graphically a case where increasing the number of firms can speed up the arrival of innovation. Show a case where it can slow the arrival of innovation down. What is the key difference in terms of firm level incentives from adding additional firms in each scenario?
Consider a market for electricity with aggregate inverse demand curve: p = 10 where p is the price of electricity in dollars per unit. The market demand curve is thus horizontal at a price of 10 Let e denote consumption of electricity. A single firm has variable production costs of: c(e) = 2 Fixed costs are zero. Assume that each unit of production generates a units of damages de): d(e) = ae Assume that a = 2 (1) Assume there's...
