| Tiivistelmä: | The author considers the impact of the cost paradox on the likelihood of cooperative firms to use a cost reducing Research Joint Venture (RJV) to increase research levels when spillovers are large. The cost paradox (CP) occurs whenever industry-wide cost reductions would lead to such intense competition that profits would fall. The author gives a restriction on cost reducing research which guarantees that an RJV will prefer marginal reductions in research to the noncooperative levels wherever CP would arise and spillovers are less than perfect. |
