Abstract

This is the first paper to investigate the timing of the R&D decisions in a mixed market. Considering a model in which a public firm competes with a private one, it examines the desirable (welfare-maximizing) and the equilibrium R&D roles of the public firm. The results suggest that from a social point of view, the public firm should carry out its investment as a Stackelberg follower. Using the observable delay game of Hamilton and Slutsky (1990), the paper shows that the public firm may play this desirable role.
