This paper examines the impact of changes in market structure on investments. We review recent theoretical and empirical contributions on this issue, starting with the relationship between competition intensity and investments. We then discuss how mergers between competitors affect firms’ incentives to introduce new products and to carry out cost-reducing and quality-enhancing investments. Lastly, we explore how acquiring an innovative entrant can influence investment incentives of both the acquirer and the acquired company
