Abstract (Summary of the Work)

My dissertation deals with some problems in theoretical economics. The five essays in this thesis can be classified under the broad categories of industrial organization and game theory.Part I of the thesis comprises three chapters. These deal with some issues in the area of joint ventures and technology transfer. Chapter 2 investigates the relationship between technological dissimilarity and joint venture success. The third chapter explores some policy issues related to joint product development. Chapter 4 examines the relative efficacy of centralized and decentralized bargaining schemes in technology transfer.In part II I examine some issues in bargaining theory. The fifth chapter is concerned with the non-cooperative foundations of the Nash bargaining solution. The last chapter studies bargaining models with small reneging costs.In the next section I present a brief literature survey on joint product development and technology transfer. Section 3 presents an overview of the chapters in part I. The two chapters in part II are described in section 4.
