| Tiivistelmä: | This article develops and tests a model of strategic R&D investments where innovating and non-innovating companies compete on the basis of their ability to reduce costs and imitate rivals. The writer finds that a larger proportion of non-innovating rivals stimulates cost-reducing investments and diminishes the disincentive effect of imitation by innovators on company level R&D. |
