Inverted U Relations and Innovative Activities

R. De Bondt and J. Vandekerckhove

Review of Business and Economic Literature, 2010, vol. 55, issue 3, 298-309

Abstract: Inverted U shaped relations are well known in the industrial organization study of innovative activities. The models that generate these predictions are typically beyond undergraduate level treatment. This short paper presents some very simple models that also generate the inverted U tendencies. This also underscores the robustness of the tendencies while still highlighting possible complexities.
