Using real options game models, we consider the characterization of strategic equilibria associated with an asymmetric R&D race between an incumbent firm and an entrant firm in the development of a new innovative product under market and technological uncertainties. The random arrival time of...

We consider the stochastic control model with finite time horizon for a mixed duopoly R&D (Research and Development) race between the profit-maximizing private firm and welfare maximizing public firm. In our two-firm stochastic control R&D race model, the stochastic control variable is taken to...

Using the real options game approach, we analyze the two-stage preemptive patent-investment race between an incumbent and a challenger (new entrant) in a product market with profit flow uncertainty. The challenger can gain entry into the monopolized product market dominated by the incumbent by...
