چکیده
Some researchers demonstrate that there is a positive relationship between competition and innovation; however, others depict that it is negative. Two contradictory results exist at the same time. Moreover, there are studies which show that the relationship is nonlinear. This study is to explore this relationship by examining the empirical data in Taiwan. We use Curve Estimation and Logistic Regression to investigate this relationship. We find an inverted-U relationship in this research. Our contribution can help clarify the relationship between innovation and competition.
