Understanding Perpetual R&D Races
Breitmoser, Yves; Tan, Jonathan H.W.; Zizzo, Daniel John - Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics … - 2008
This paper presents an experimental study of dynamic indefinite horizon R&D races with uncertainty and multiple prizes. The theoretical predictions are highly sensitive: small parameter changes determine whether technological competition is sustained, or converges into a market structure with an...
