Strategic R&D Policy

No 276, CEPR Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: The outcome of technological competition between firms (or countries) depends on the resolution of two forces: the profit incentive and the competitive threat. This is illustrated using a simple duopoly model. This model is then used to analyze two policy issues: subsidizing R & D and collaborative research ventures. In evaluating the second of these, some use is made of numerical simulations.
