R&D in Developing Countries: What Should Governments Do?

J. Peter Neary

Working Papers from College Dublin, Department of Political Economy-

Abstract: I consider the implications of recent research for R&D policy in developing countries. Typical new growth models, which assume free entry and no strategic behaviour by R&D producers, are less appropriate for policy guidance than strategic oligopoly models. But the latter have ambiguous implications for targeted R&D subsidies, and caution against the anticompetitive effect of research joint ventures.
