Leahy, Dermot; Neary, J. Peter - 1999

International trade policy towards monopoly and oligopoly
Kujal, Praveen; Ruiz Pérez, Juan Manuel - 2009
This paper highlights the importance of product differentiation and endogenous R&D in determining the optimal R&D policy, in a model where investment in cost reducing R&D is committed before firms compete in a differentiated-goods third-country export market. R&D is always taxed in oligopolies...
