In particular if v = 0; that is, if there are constant returns to development on a product line, Bertrand competition for developers among the researchers who discovered the newest lines will drive the equilibrium share K of the researchers down to zero. In other words, this is a case where no research will ever take place in steady-state equilibrium, and thus where the growth process, if any, will be driven entirely by horizontal product development on the initial lines. This is why, in order for both research and development to coexist in a steady state, we must assume v > 0.
Near the leading edge the profile will be shifting up, as development creates new goods. But far back from the leading edge the profile will be shifting down, as the rise in real wages associated with growth draws labour from old product lines, and the reallocation of old developers into new lines reduces the rate at which new goods are being introduced on old lines. However, there will always be some development taking place no matter how old the line. 29 For both kinds of innovative activity to coexist in a steady state, skilled workers who have just been upgraded must be indifferent between research and development on a new line.
Ii and (L) L = ii + i(w), which turn out to be identical to (A) and (L) in the basic model, except that A. and n have been replaced by Xand ii, respectively. A reduction in the entry fee ' amounts to increasing X (which is nothing but the arrival rate of innovation per unit of labour spent by a research firm). 1 that dA. > 0. Therefore the steadystate growth rate, which is equal to X· ii · In y, will also increase as a result of a lower entry fee. This, in turn, vindicates the Schumpeterian claim that more competition in research activities is growth-enhancing.
