Project Details
Description
In the present project we consider a theoretical model of an innovation race between two firms that compete to be the first to sell an innovation to companies that sell products at retail.
Innovation is uncertain and potential innovations are unsure of the viability of the innovation they are working on. We argue that vertical constraints can improve welfare to the extent that they can provide incentives to innovate.

Layman's description
In this sense, the following objectives are proposed:
1.Understand how antitrust policies affect incentives to innovate
2.Determine the design of vertical restrictions that generates the greatest incentives for firms to innovate.
3.Determine under what circumstances and what vertical restrictions could be allowed through a “rule of reason” and not through “per-se prohibition” in situations in which firms compete in an innovation race.
4.Analyze the effect of innovation protection policies, duration and breadth of the patent in situations with vertical controls.
