The main results indicate that non–life insurers are more stable in a less competitive and highly concentrated environment. This finding provides support for the competition–fragility view in the Turkish non–life insurance sector. In contrast, life/pension insurers are more stable in a highly competitive and more concentrated market. Hence, our findings provide support for the competition–stability view for Turkish life/pension insurers. The results further indicate that higher market power decreases (increases) earnings volatility in the non–life (life/pension) insurance sector. A quadratic term of the competition measures was also used in this study to capture a possible nonlinear relationship between competition and risk. The results suggest an inverse U-shaped pattern for the non–life insurer’s case. That is, market power increases insurer stability until a threshold level. As for the life/pension insurer’s case, the results also support a U-shaped relationship between market power and stability. The results further show that there is no nonlinear relationship between competition and stability.","PeriodicalId":45470,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Economics of Business","volume":"283 1 1","pages":"269 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86580681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also undertake a comparative analysis of these variables using an earlier dataset of 40 drugs that lost exclusivity in 1992–1998. Our principal findings are: a marked decrease in the number of generic manufacturers per drug, higher generic concentration, and higher generic-to-brand price ratios in the more recent years. Despite higher generic-to-brand price ratios, however, the generics have garnered higher market share, reflecting their rising market power and the ongoing major structural changes in the pharmaceutical industry.","PeriodicalId":45470,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Economics of Business","volume":"60 1","pages":"159 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74577660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that, both private and consumer-oriented firms incur positive expenditure on misleading advertising. Further, the profit of consumer-oriented firms is higher than that of private firms.

Existing studies largely relate to the marketing field and are generally conducted from a marketing firms' point of view. To investigate eWOM from the perspective of social welfare, the latter half of the paper discusses theoretical frameworks of economics that are potentially applicable to the context of eWOM, especially focusing on theories about social learning and signaling. We discuss implications obtained by applying these theories to eWOM and outline possible directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":45470,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Economics of Business","volume":"2019 1","pages":"303 - 320"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76187146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Franchise chains are formed to reduce transaction costs by combining franchisee outlets as an adaptation mechanism and company-owned outlets as a control mechanism. We argue that under low to moderate uncertainty, franchisors prioritize local responsiveness to profit opportunities by operating a lower proportion of company-owned outlets (PCO); by contrast, under high environmental uncertainty, franchisors prefer more central control through a higher PCO to coordinate interdependent local market outlets better. Hence, the franchisor must find an optimal PCO by balancing the PCO decreasing effect of higher local adaptation with the PCO increasing effect of higher central coordination under increasing uncertainty. Therefore, we posit a U-shaped relationship between the PCO and environmental uncertainty. Data from German and Swiss franchise systems provide support for the study’s hypotheses.","PeriodicalId":45470,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Economics of Business","volume":"46 1","pages":"357 - 375"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86506933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of new molecular entities followed only a weak upward trend. Following passage of the Hatch Waxman Act in 1984, the share of retail prescriptions dispensed as generics has expanded from 19% to almost 90%. By employing a three-equation Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) model and Granger causality, this paper assesses empirically the interdependence among these variables. Our most important finding is that increases in insurance coverage on pharmaceuticals contributed significantly to the spending growth, which in turn led to further insurance expansion. In addition, introduction of new drugs also has contributed to enhanced insurance coverage. While the expansion of generic prescribing has had a strong negative effect on spending, this effect has been largely offset by rapid increases in coverage.","PeriodicalId":45470,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the Economics of Business","volume":"120 1","pages":"1 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81733672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
