The effects of state and industry economic conditions on new firm entry

Article Abstract:

The macroeconomic factors influencing the establishment of new firms are studied. Results show that growth in industry GNP, state disposable income, state unemployment rates and percentage of the population living in urban areas encourage new firm entry while state wage and average rates negatively affect entry. State unemployment, wage and tax rates also influence entry in industries whose outputs are traded across state borders.

On economic incentive for quality upgrading

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the profit-incentive for quality upgrading reveals that there is a profit division where a tacit collusion may ensure that a high-cost firm earns more than the low-cost firm. Moreover, the study reveals that the low-cost firm cannot assure itself of higher profits in either the Nash equilibrium or the collusion equilibrium thus questioning the superiority of low-cost firms over high-cost firms.
