We test the theoretical prediction that inter-firm spillovers must necessarily be large for the profit differential … between cooperation and non-cooperation in R and D to be monotone increasing with them. By using the French data from the 2002 … Community Innovation Survey, we find that spillovers have a significant positive impact on the likelihood that competitors …

competition also the influence of spillovers on R&D-cooperation increases. …

This paper proposes a model where firms invest in secrecy to limit technological spillovers accruing to their … competitors, in addition to investing in cost-reducing R&D. The main result of the paper is that increases in spillovers increase … secrecy,or a reduction in the cost of R&D, all lead to an increase in secrecy. As for the effect of spillovers on effective …

competition also the influence of spillovers on R&D-cooperation increases. However, competition seems to induce firms to search … for effective firm-specific appropriation facilities first. Spillovers that are sufficiently high such that the … internalisation effect from R&D-cooperation more than outweighs the competitive effect from research, only arise whenever firms are …

emphasis is posed on the effects that arise from various types of spillovers and how these effects are influenced by firm …
