| Abstract: | This paper develops a generalized framework in which genetic resources are used in R&D at the base of an industry addressing recurring problems of resistance, as in the pharmaceutical or plant breeding industries. The R&D process is one in which firms are engaging in a continuing contest of innovation against a background of both creative and adaptive destruction. |
