Monopoly versus R&D-Integrated Duopoly

Contents:

Author Info

  • Amir, Rabah, et al

Abstract

In the standard two-stage framework of R&D/product market competition, this paper provides a performance comparison between monopoly and the cartelized research joint venture, using two well-known models based on different versions of the R&D spillover process. According to the model with a wider scope of application, monopoly always leads to a higher propensity for R&D and, when R&D costs are low, to the best overall market performance. The results also allow for a comparison between the two underlying models of strategic R&D. Copyright 2002 by Blackwell Publishers Ltd and The Victoria University of Manchester
