This paper provides some first empirical evidence on the relationship between R&D spillovers and R&D cooperation. The … sharing and coordination aspects of incoming spillovers are crucial in understanding cooperation, while on the other hand … results suggest disentangling different aspects of know-how flows. Firms which rate incoming spillovers more importantly and …

strategy view, our paper also shows that imitators may not always benefit from interfirm knowledge spillovers. Specifically …

We test the theoretical prediction that inter-firm spillovers must necessarily be large for the profit differential … between cooperation and non-cooperation in R and D to be monotone increasing with them. By using the French data from the 2002 … Community Innovation Survey, we find that spillovers have a significant positive impact on the likelihood that competitors …
