This study empirically investigates how shocks to monetary policy measures (short-term nominal interest rate and broad money supply) affect economic aggregates: output growth, price levels and nominal exchange rate. The study is carried out for Pakistan using quarterly data covering the period...

We develop a structural econometric model of import demand for Pakistan, with binding foreign exchange constraint. ARDL and DOLS techniques are used to estimate the log-run coefficients of price and income elasticities. The empirical results from ARDL bound testing approach and Johansen’s...

Successful innovation depends on the management of a firm’s knowledge base. This paper empirically investigates the determinants of knowledge regulation. Using a unique survey dataset, the analysis suggests that R&D managers do not leak knowledge randomly, but rather regulate knowledge...

Mobile telecommunications operators routinely charge subscribers lower prices for calls on their own network than for calls to other networks (on-net discounts). Studies on tariff-mediated network effects suggest this is due to large operators using on-net discounts to damage smaller rivals....

Mobile telecommunications operators routinely charge higher prices for off-net than on-net calls. Previous research provides two alternative propositions on whether on-net / off-net price differentials (OOD) are more attractive for large or for small operators. On the one hand studies on...

Innovation processes within corporations increasingly tap into international technology sources, yet little is known about the relative contribution of different types of innovation channels. We investigate the effectiveness of different types of international technology sourcing activities...

Die Wirtschaftsanthropologie wurde von Koncsik als neue Interface-Disziplin zwischen Wirtschaftsethik und theologischer Anthropologie vorgeschlagen (siehe das Institut www.wirtschaftsanthropologie.de). Vorliegender Beitrag skizziert systemtheoretische Keypoints eines zweidimensionalen Menschen...

The introduction of a new product generation forces incumbents in network industries to rebuild their installed base to maintain an advantage over potential entrants. We study if backward compatibility moderates this process of rebuilding an installed base. Using a structural model of the U.S....
