Abstract

This dissertation contains three essays on different topics related to technology standards. The first essay studies the potential impact of unifying two incompatible standards for wireless networks on firms’ coverage investment choices, profits, prices, and consumer welfare in the U.S. wireless telecommunications market. The second essay exploits the patent policy change of a Standard Development Organization to quantify the effects of more restrictive (to technology developers) patent policies on the firms’ incentives to innovate in the context of technology standards. The third and final essay of the dissertation investigates the relationship between joining a standardization project and the firms’ patent portfolio choices.
