Abstract: | In this paper, considered is a two-period duopoly characterized by a one-way spillover structure in process R&D and a very broad specification of product market competition. It is shown that a-priori identical firms always engage in different levels of R&D, at equilibrium, thus giving rise to an innovator/imitator configuration and ending up with different sizes. There is also provided a general analysis of the social benefits of, and firms' incentive for, forming research joint ventures. There is also another contribution which is methodological. |
