Dissemination of spillovers in cost-reducing alliances

Research in Economics, 2008, vol. 62, issue 1, 34-44

Abstract: Firms raise cost-reducing alliances before competing with each other, but cannot fully appropriate the shared knowledge. When spillovers disseminate through the network of alliances, link formation enables firms to capture more spillovers, but by doing so they become intermediary in the spreading of spillovers to other firms. This leads to the emergence of asymmetric networks.
