Abstract
This note expounds the abstract fundamentals of the appropriability problem, re-assessing insights from three classic
contributions—those of Schumpeter, Arrow and Teece. Whereas the first two contributions were explicitly concerned with the
implications of appropriability for society at large, Teece’s main concern was with practical questions of business strategy and eco-
anization. This note argues that, his practical concerns notwithstanding, Teece contributed, en passant but fundamentally,
to the clarification of basic questions that previous authors had addressed prehensively and less satisfactorily. Specifically,
his analysis of the innovator’s access plementary assets, undertaken from a contracting perspective, can be seen as filling a
significant gap in the previous theoretical discussion of appropriability.
