Abstract: | This paper presents a model that seeks to understand and explain R&D performance difference in research-intensive companies. The primary theoretical model builds on the well-established theory of science as a public good but augments it with a game-theoretic argument for individual firm choices of scientific information openness or secrecy. The first research question the authors address is how a firm's scientific information openness, as measured by its research publications , impacts the firm's stock of technical knowledge. |
