Inversión en intangibles y estrategia competitiva: Una extensión del modelo de cournot

Abstract

The growing literature on intangible capital shows a relative consensus on the role of firms in terms of investing resources to acquire (purchase or produce) this type of capital because it allows them to obtain a competitive advantage. This paper explores the incentives of In increasing their level of intangible capital using a simple model in which the firms compete a la Cournot. The model shows that the firm can get higher price-cost margins and market share than its rivals even in perfect competition given that the firm is productive enough in the production of intangible capital.
