This paper analyses the dynamic aspects of knowledge sharing in R&D rivalry. In a model where research projects consist of N sequential stages, the goal is to explore how the innovators' incentives to share intermediate research outcomes change with progress and with their relative positions in an R&D race. An...
This paper analyses various intellectual property practices in a dynamic context. Building on a model of Segal and Whinston (2004), the paper considers the rate of innovation when IP Intellectual Property licensing is expected versus when it is not. In each case, innovation returns trade off the immediate value from...
The inappropriate treatment of intangible investment in company accounts means that there are no statistical collections for innovative activity which abide by the logic used for other economic activity data. Accordingly, analysts rely instead on proxy indicators derived from administrative and survey data collections. This paper considers, in the light...

The paper also outlines the current state of empirical research on their incidence and effects....
This paper reverses the standard order between input supply negotiations and downstream competition and assumes that competition for orders takes place prior to procurement of inputs in a vertical chain. In an environment where procurement negotiations involve no private information and no restrictions on the form of pricing, it is...
This paper suggests that both graffiti and highly sexualized outdoor advertising should be understood as forms of street harassment. Research exists charting the manner in which graffiti creates fear in public space and fear of crime is something experienced by women more frequently than men. There has been no similar...
The objective of the study was to conduct a systematic review of studies on clinically relevant digital mobile phone electromagnetic interference with medical equipment. As there was considerable heterogeneity in medical equipment studied and the conduct of testing, results were summarized rather than subjected to meta-analysis. Although testing was not...
The right to quiet has been defined as a public commons. Public space in Australia is becoming increasingly sound designed. This paper investigates the variety of approaches by sound artists who have installed public space drawing on the three year ARC Australian Sound Design Project's research and public outreach Hearing...
In the context of social capital, the paper introduces a research project that focuses on a purpose built community intranet installed in a new housing development in Melbourne, Australia.

The paper examines the factors that determine the duration on the Disability Support Pension DSP program using administrative data. The authors estimate two models based on two competing assumptions: the first model takes the standard assumption in duration models that all recipients will eventually leave the program. The second one...
This paper considers whether there is any relationship between a firm's learning style and the way it chooses to appropriate its innovation profits. It argues that there two potential connections: first, a firm's absorptive capacity, its ability to generate new innovations and its subsequent ability to appropriate the returns from...
This contrast of neo-classical and socioecological perspectives, or logics, of strategy making based partially on their different understandings of environmental turbulence. Drawing on hypercompetition and hyperturbulence at the dynamic edges of these logics, one posits the ?Hyper environment? and conceptualizes it as a coevolutionary outcome of denser environmental texturing and...
