R&D and production behavior of asymmetric duopoly subject to knowledge spillovers
Plasmans, Joseph E. J. - 2000
We construct an asymmetri c duopolistic R&D and production behavior model subject to knowledge spillovers. This model is an extension to the symmetric model of d'Aspremont and Jacquemin (A&J (1988)) and aims to determine the cooperative and non-cooperative R&D strategies for two agents of...
