The Regional Environment and a Firm’s Innovative Performance: A Plea for a Multilevel Interactionist Approach (2007, background): “Acknowledging the difficulty of innovating in a market that is characterized by full competition, industrial organization theorists have typically argued that market pressure may increase the incentive to innovate (see Boone 2001 for an overview).”
Impact of bank competition on the interest rate pass-through in the euro area (2013, methodology): “The main contribution of this paper is that it applies a new measure for competition, called the Boone indicator [see also Boone (2001); Bikker and Van Leuvensteijn (2008); Van Leuvensteijn et al. (2007)].”
Competition and efficiency in the Dutch life insurance industry (2008, background): “Another indirect measure of competition is the so-called Boone indicator. This approach is based on the notion that competition rewards efficiency and punishes inefficiency. In competitive markets, efficient firms perform better – in terms of market shares and hence profit – than inefficient firms. ”
What are the driving forces of bank competition across different income groups of countries (2014, positive): “Regional estimates of the Boone indicator pool the bank data by regions (for more information, see Hay and Liu, 1997, Boone, 2001 and Boone et al., 2005), based on underlying data in BankScope.”
A new approach to measuring competition in the loan markets of the euro area (2011, methodology): “This section discusses the full sample period estim ates of the Boone indicator. The results in Table 5.3 suggest that competition in the bank loan m rket varies considerably across countries. 13 The full sample period estimates are derived by es timating one single β for the entire period, as in Eq”
Heterogeneous policies, heterogeneous technologies: The case of renewable energy (2016, background): “2.2 Market Structure, Liberalisation and Renewable Energy Innovation The relationship between innovation and competition has been deeply analysed in a vast body of economic literature on endogenous growth (e.g., Boone, 2000, 2001; Aghion and Howitt, 1998).”
