Is it possible to apply a Schumpeterian notion of entrepreneurial innovation to the financial sphere? Joseph A. Schumpeter, arguing that innovation could only be proposed by entrepreneurs and take place predominantly in the real sector, seems to propose a foundation for a contemporaray analysis of financial innovations. There is a lack of specific emphasis on the evolution of financial innovations in Schumpeter's work. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that Schumpeter's analysis of entrepreneurial innovation, which takes place in the real economy, also proposes a theoretical account for understanding the dynamics of financial innovations. Our aim is to propose a comparative study between entrepreneurial innovations and financial innovations. Nevertheless, analyzing financial innovations in the framework of Schumpeter's economic theory doesn't mean to legitimize them all. This is also an investigation for diversifying financial innovations according to their impact on the real economy. We provide a basic foundation for a post-Schumpeterian description of the evolution of the capitalist system.

To innovate or to transfer? A study on spillovers and foreign firms in Turkey LENGER, AYKUT; Taymaz, Erol (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-04-01) FDI has been considered by many development economists as an important channel for transfer of technology to developing countries. It is suggested that modern, advanced technologies introduced by multinational firms can diffuse to domestic firms through spillovers. In this paper, we study innovation and technology transfer activities of domestic and foreign firms in Turkish manufacturing industries, and the impact of horizontal, vertical and labor spillovers on these activities. Our analysis shows that fore...
Is limit pricing evolutionarily stable? Soytaş, Uğur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-08-01) We have analyzed the question whether or not limit-pricing behavior can be viewed as a strategy, which survives the replicator dynamics in a game in which firms change strategies through imitation. Our results show that, regardless of the proportion of low cost incumbents in the population, potential entrants that play the strategy "enter" when they observe limit output are wiped out. The unique ESS consists of all low cost incumbents playing the "limit output" strategy, and all high cost incumbents playing...
Other-regarding preferences in organizational hierarchies Saygili, Kemal; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04-01) In this paper, we provide new theoretical insights about the role of collusion in organizational hierarchies by combining the standard principal-supervisor-agent framework with a theory of social preferences. Extending Tirole's (J Law Econ Organ 2(2):181-214, 1986) model of hierarchy with the inclusion of Fehr and Schmidt (Q J Econ 114(3):817-868, 1999) type of other-regarding preferences, the links between inequity aversion, collusive behavior and changes in optimal contracts are studied. It turns out that...
Capitalism and democracy at a crossroads: the civilizational dimension Ozveren, E (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-01-01) This paper evaluates Schumpeter's grand vision as reflected in his Capitalism, Socialism ann Democracy, and elaborates it in conjunction with the so-called "globalization" trends characteristic of the wake of the twenty-first century. In addition to the evolutionary nature of his methodology, the institutionalist dimension of Schumpeter's definitions are brought to light. A case is made for a fundamental process of "uncreative destruction" as far as the institutional setup of the economy is concerned. The c...
Interim efficient auctions with interdependent valuations Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-05-01) We provide a characterization of interim efficient auctions and examine their properties in the presence of informational interdependent valuations. We show that buyers can be awarded the auctioned item less often than the efficient level. We also show that buyers obtain the item more often as the degree of heterogeneity in preferences increases, even though profitability of trade does not depend on the heterogeneity in preferences.
