A Three-Period Analysis of R&D Spillovers in the Presence of an Industry Life Cycle Pattern

International Journal of Business and Economics, 2009, vol. 8, issue 1, 21-35

Abstract: This paper introduces the time dimension into the precompetitive R&D model, where both demand and spillovers vary over time. The effect of cooperation on R&D depends on a weighted function of spillovers, with the weights being a function of demand levels. The bulk of the incentives for innovation come from the growth phase of the industry.
