Firm Size, Innovation and Market Structure: The Evolution of Industry Concentration and Instability (New Horizons in the Economics of Innovation series)

This text uses evolutionary dynamic theory, non-linear mathematics and computer simulation techniques to explore the relationship between firm size, innovation and market structure. The book begins by reviewing the connection between these variables from a theoretical and an empirical point of view, and goes on to illustrate how analytical tools may be used in order to explore Schumpeterian prepositions regarding firm size, innovation and the specific role of idiosyncratic events.
