A simple model of mergers and innovation
We analyze the impact of a merger on firms’ incentives to innovate. We show that the merging parties always decrease their innovation efforts post-merger while the outsiders to the merger respond by increasing their effort. A merger tends to reduce overall innovation. Consumers are always worse off after a merger. Our model calls into question the applicability of the “inverted-U” relationship between innovation and competition to a merger setting
Additional file 5: Figure S2. of In silico identification of essential proteins in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis based on protein-protein interaction networks
Homology distribution of Cp essential proteins aligned against hosts. Dark green: proteins homologous to host; Yellow: Proteins with low identity against hosts (identity < 30 %). Dark red: non-host homologous proteins, proteins with low identity and low coverage alignment against hosts (identity x coverage < = 10 %). Dark blue: non-host homologous proteins, proteins with no alignment hits against O. aires and C. hircus. Light blue: non-host homologous proteins, proteins with no alignment hits against the five hosts. The alignment summary is depicted in Additional file 6. (JPG 318 kb
