Tiivistelmä:This article analyzes the escape-entry incentive for innovation by incumbent firms. The threat posed by the chance of leading-edge firms entering the market impacts incumbent innovation. To dodge problems of endogeneity, an instrumental variable approach is used to analyze a rich firm-level dataset (1987-2000) for Germany. We find evidence of domestic entry having a negative effect on incumbent product innovation, strongly implying new entrants' comparative advantage in commercializing new ideas. However, domestic entry has a positive effect on incumbent process innovations, an influence also known as the escape-entry effect.
