Dominance and Innovation

Dominance and innovation: a returns-based beliefs approach

Do dominant or less dominant firms innovate more? There is considerable research on this question, with theoretical studies based on game theory and empirical evidence often divided. We provide a new theory that the decisions that concern strategic choice in innovation may be influenced by expected relative returns. Our approach, which we call the returns-based beliefs approach, is based upon s...

Dominance, Innovation, and Efficiency: Modifying Antitrust and Intellectual Property Doctrines to Further Welfare

Dominance Constraints and Dominance Graphs

Dominance constraints logically describe trees in terms of their adjacency and dominance, i.e. reachability, relation. They have important applications in computational linguistics. Unfortunately, the satisfiability problem of dominance constraints is NP-complete. In this extended abstract we describe efficient algorithms for natural subclasses of dominance constraints [BDNM03]. The instances o...

Iterated weak dominance and subgame dominance

In this paper, we consider finite normal form games satisfying transference of decisionmaker indifference. We show that any set of strategies surviving k rounds of elimination of some weakly dominated strategies can be reduced to a set of strategies equivalent to the set of strategies surviving k rounds of elimination of all weakly dominated strategies in every round by (at most k) further roun...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...
