Modelling imperfectly appropriable R&D via spillovers

Full text - MIT Libraries
R Amir - International Journal of Industrial Organization, 2000 - Elsevier
We provide an extensive comparison of the well-known R&D models of d'Aspremont-
Jacquemin and Kamien-Muller-Zang, exposing full or partial conflict in key conclusions and
policy prescriptions. Using a mix of formal and/or intuitive criteria, we argue that the first ...
