Competition and Innovation " Is pure competition or monopoly the best environment for fostering innovation? Actually, neither.

"Competition and innovation: an inverted U relationship". By Phillippe Aghion, Nicholas Bloom, Richard Blundell, Rachel Griffith and Peter Howitt of the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
