Abstract
The major thesis of this article is that combining the resource-based theory of the firm with Austrian economics and heterogeneous demand theory provides the foundations for a new theory of competition, the resource-advantage theory. This new theory has macro and public policy implications. Specifically, when compared with neoclassical perfect competition theory, the resource-advantage theory better explains productivity and economic growth.Keywords
