An Empirical Analysis of the Effects of Patents and Secrecy on Knowledge Spillovers
Schmidt, Tobias - 2014
Theoretical considerations suggest that secrecy reduces spillovers almost completely through non-disclosure, while the disclosure requirement of patents generates some spillover and at the same time allows firms to appropriate knowledge. In this paper we empirically analyze whether protection by...

Open Innovation in a dynamic Cournot duopoly
Hasnas, Irina; Lambertini, Luca; Palestini, Arsen - 2011
We analyze an Open Innovation process in a Cournot duopoly using a differential game approach where knowledge spillovers are endogenously determined via the R&D process. The game produces multiple steady states, allowing for an asymmetric solution where a firm may trade off the R&D investment...

Strategic location choice under dynamic oligopolistic competition and spillovers
Colombo, Luca; Dawid, Herbert - 2013
This paper investigates firms' optimal location choices explicitly accounting for the role of inwards and outwards knowledge spillovers in a dynamic Cournot oligopoly with firms that are heterogeneous in their ability to carry out cost-reducing R&D. Firms can either locate in an industrial...

Collaborating
Bonatti, Alessandro - 2009
This paper examines moral hazard in teams over time. Agents are collectively engaged in an uncertain project, and their individual efforts are unobserved. Free-riding leads not only to a reduction in effort, but also to procrastination. The collaboration dwindles over time, but never ceases as...

Developing Shared Knowledge in Growing Firms
Li, Hongyi - 2016
I develop a theory of knowledge sharing in organizations where coordinated activity requires shared knowledge, and knowledge sharing is local and costly. Because knowledge sharing is local, knowledge diffuses gradually across an organization. Because knowledge sharing is costly, diffusion may...

Strategic R&D with Knowledge Spillovers and Endogenous Time to Complete
Lukach, Ruslan - 2007
It is shown that asymmetry in Ramp;D efficiency between firms is an important factor determining feasibility of the preemption and attrition scenarios in competitive Ramp;D with time to build. Scenarios of attrition and preemption games are most likely to occur when competitors have similar...

Innovation Strategies in a Competitive Dynamic Setting
Plasmans, Joseph; Lukach, Ruslan; Kort, Peter M. - 2021
This paper presents a dynamic model of a competitive R&D and production duopoly subject to knowledge spillovers. Two asymmetric firms operate for a limited period of time and dispose of their knowledge capital in the end. Both firms and the social planner prefer the R&D-cooperative strategy over...

Lost in Translation: Empirical Evidence for Liability of Foreignness as a Barrier to Knowledge Spillovers
Sofka, Wolfgang; Schmidt, Tobias - 2006
Entering host country networks of knowledge flows (new competencies, innovative technologies, and lead-market knowledge) is a major rationale of multinational firms for investing abroad. Foreign firms find it difficult to overcome cultural and social barriers which make their foreign engagements...
