Abstract:
This paper investigates the factors underlying the emergence of Research Cluster (RC), i.e. cooperation (or coordination of research efforts) through spatial proximity between public and private research teams. A ‘public lab' and a ‘private lab' interact in a two-stage game to decide on ‘location' and ‘research effort'. A high level of public subsidies associated to a low asymmetry in the ‘valorisation capability' between both labs is necessary for the formation of a cluster. We find that RC performs better than non-cooperation in terms of research efforts in a ‘public lab' (but not in a ‘private lab') and output gains that can be appropriated by each lab.
