| Tiivistelmä: | The authors analyse a model in which potential suppliers invest in research and development (R&D) and then compete for a procurement contract from a buyer. If the buyer is able to commit to a procurement mechanism before the investment stage, the full-information solution can be uniquely implemented by first-price and second price sealed-bid auction mechanisms when the R&D technology exhibits decreasing returns to scale. If the procurement mechanisms and the levels of investment are chosen simultaneously, the full-information solution can not be implemented. |
