“…Paleo diet was also the most Googled diet in both 2013 and 2014 11 (although it fell to third place in 2015 12 ). The number of news headlines including the term "Paleo diet" began a steep upward trend only in 2010, hit a huge spike in 2014, and has trended slightly downward with periodic spikes since then.…”

How to make stone soup: Is the “Paleo diet” a missed opportunity for anthropologists?

For the past few years, people everywhere have been "going Paleo." Websites and social media touting the benefits of eating a "Paleo diet" and following a "Paleolithic life style" serve as calls to arms for health-conscious individuals seeking information about the latest health and fitness trends. Many of these people participate in programs such as Crossfit, which involve major social and life-style modification components and therefore facilitate the dissemination of dietary fads. The PALEOf(x) conference, which bills itself as "the world's premier holistic wellness event," has attracted sellout crowds of thousands of attendees for the last four years. Consumers can wear Paleo clothing, download Paleo shopping and exercise apps to their smartphones, order prepackaged Paleo food, prepare it using Paleo cooking implements, or expediently buy Paleo convenience foods from Paleodiet™ vending machines and "Cultured Caveman" food trucks. The Paleo diet is touted by movie stars, reality TV personalities, and professional athletes, including LeBron James and the entire Miami Dolphins NFL team. Books with titles such as The Primal Blueprint, Cavewomen Don't Get Fat, and Paleo Perfected (the latter by the stodgy America's Test Kitchen) are legion, and many are bestsellers.

“…The intuition behind this proposition can be understood by examining (equation 1). The conditions under which licensing may not be an equilibrium outcome are addressed in more detail in Gans (2011). As the purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of antitrust policy when licensing is an equilibrium outcome, in the remainder of the paper it will be assumed that .…”

“…It can enter into production of the product generation (we call this commercialization strategy "competition") or it can negotiate with the current incumbent (we call this commercialization strategy "cooperation"). 9 Following the entrant's decision, Nature decides which of the remaining firms that do not hold patent production rights to the current product generation and, thus, becomes the next entrant for research towards the next product 7 Gans (2011), considers a model whereby the current incumbent can also engage in R&D. There it is noted that such incumbents have an incentive to engage in a minimal level of R&D so as to slow down the arrival of the next innovation and avoid cannibalization of existing products. Thus, the assumption here can be considered as a natural one when incumbents have literally no incentive to expend resources on innovation.. 8 The role of dynamic capabilities is addressed in more detail in Gans (2011).…”

“…First we review both IP law and competition law as it compares between the US and the EU. Second, we provide a model of the dynamic impacts of competition law (building upon the work of Gans, 2011, and the informal discussion in Gans, 2010) on innovation/entrepreneurship, and compare the trade-offs in applying that law (notably its strength) as we move from an environment of competitive commercialization (associated with weak IP) to cooperative commercialization (associated with strong IP). We provide reasons why we expect these policies to be complements, that is, as you strengthen IP policy you also want to adopt a stronger competition policy and vice versa.…”

Abstract. This paper examines the interaction between intellectual property protection and competition policy on the choice of entrepreneurs with respect to commercialization as well as the rate of innovation. We find that stronger intellectual property protection makes it more likely that entrepreneurs will commercialize by cooperating with incumbents rather than competing with them. Consequently, we demonstrate that competition policy has a clearer role in promoting a higher rate of innovation in that event. Hence, we identify one reason why the strength of the two policies may be complements from the perspective of increasing the rate of entrepreneurial innovation.

When Suppliers Climb the Value Chain: A Theory of Value Distribution in Vertical Relationships

A lthough offshore outsourcing has become an important strategy to lower production costs among Western firms, it gives rise to the phenomenon of value chain climbing-suppliers in emerging markets can develop capabilities by supplying, with aspirations to compete with the buyers in the product market. We build an analytical model to study the impact of value chain climbing on value distribution in vertical relationships. The analysis identifies a set of dominant relationships, characterizes how the buyer's optimal choice among these relationships depends on firms' relative competitiveness in the product market and the supplier's speed of capability development, and shows how the optimal choice evolves with the dynamics of the supplier's capability development. The results provide new insights into our understanding of value distribution in vertical relationships across different contexts and over time. By endogenizing the supplier's entry into the product market, our study enriches the literatures on vertical relationships, market entry, and the management of global value chains.
