Abstract
This paper shows that innovation (or Schumpeter's) cycles can be demonstrated in a discrete and finite dynamic game of innovation and imitation. We find that the cycles depend crucially on whether imitation is a credible threat and hence, we conclude that strategic interactions are sufficient to generate cycles in an innovation game.
⺠A finite discrete dynamic game of innovation is constructed. ⺠The cyclical behavior of innovation is explained. ⺠We find that strategic interactions lead to cycles.
