This paper uses qualitative response variable analysis to conduct a comprehensive study of patent citations in patents granted to Belgian corporate applicants by the United States and the European Patent Offices. The analysis uncovered different patterns of citations in patents, which belong to...

We construct an asymmetric duopolistic R&D and production behavior model subject to knowledge spillovers. This model is an extension to the symmetric model of d'Aspremont and Jacquemin (A&J (1988)) and aims to determine the cooperative and non-cooperative R&D strategies for two agents of...
