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 - 2013

In recent years Open Innovation (OI) processes have been receiving growing attention from the empirical and theoretical economic literature, where a debate is taking place on the aspects of complementarity or substitutability between internal R&D and OI spillover. By means of a differential game...

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...

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 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 E. J.; 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...

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...

Dynamics of information exchange in endogenous social networks

Acemoglu, Daron; Bimpikis, Kostas; Ozdaglar, Asuman E. - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 9 (2014) 1, pp. 41-97

Under truthful communication, we show that asymptotic learning occurs if (and under … ``information hubs'', which receive and distribute a large amount of information. Asymptotic learning therefore requires information …

The Demise of Distance? The Declining Role of Physical Distance In Knowledge Transmission

Johnson, Daniel K.N.; Siripong, Nalyn; Brown, Amy - 2002

The economics literature clearly shows that the transmission of knowledge diminishes with physical distance, a factor contributing to industrial clustering. This paper investigates how those distances have stretched over time. We measure the physical distance between collaborating inventors, as...
