Abstract: Abstract We develop a model of R&D networks in which firms can choose to invest in R&D or to establish network links with other firms to absorb R&D spillovers in innovation networks. We characterize the network structure of firms' strategic R&D decisions in different types of spatial equilibrium. We further extend the theoretical framework to address empirical implications for the industry structure under cooperative R&D, firms' location choice, spatial agglomeration, and social capital allocation.
