• A virtuous cycle refers to successful research and development that leads to information that is used to develop other new products.

• A virtuous cycle refers to a firm using the profits from a monopoly in one market to establish a monopoly in another market.

• A virtuous cycle refers to the situation where the pursuit of self-interest in establishing an entry barrier leads to an increase in social welfare (the "invisible hand").
