What Causes Over-investment in R&D in Endogenous Growth Models? (2014)
Journal Article
Denicolò, V., & Zanchettin, P. (2014). What Causes Over-investment in R&D in Endogenous Growth Models?. Economic Journal, 124(581), 1192-1212. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecoj.12132

Endogenous growth models may exhibit either under-or over-investment in R&D. The possibility of over-investment is generally attributed to a business-stealing e¤ect that arises as the latest innovator destroys and/or appropriates previous incumbent's...

Journal Article
Reader, T. (2014). Evidence for Batesian mimicry in a polymorphic hoverfly. Evolution, 68(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.12308

Palatable Batesian mimics are avoided by predators because they resemble noxious or defended species. The striking resemblance of many hoverflies to noxious Hymenoptera is a “textbook” example of Batesian mimicry, but evidence that selection by preda...
