orignal paper: Modelling research and development: How do firms solve design problems?
Cooper, Ben - In: Journal of Evolutionary Economics 10 (2000) 4, pp. 395-413
One way of thinking about research and development is to recognise that firms are trying to solve particular design problems. We often build these design problems into our models, but are forced to oversimplify them in order to make the models solvable. The approach taken in this paper is to...
