r&d

The authors demonstrate that the presumed incompatibility of uncoordinated R&D and competition is not fundamental, but hinges on the nature of R&D spillovers. As a consequence, R&D subsidies may be more effective than previously thought, according to the authors

The author utilizes a large matched employer-employee data set and test for knowledge diffusion from subsidised technology firms transmitted through the labor market.

Using panels of UK and U.S. firms matched to patent data, the authors show that UK firms who had established a high proportion of U.S.-based inventors by 1990 benefited disproportionately from the growth of the U.S. research and development (R&D) stock over the next 10 years.

The authors develop a model of two-stage cumulative research and development in which one research unit with an innovative idea bargains to license her nonverifiable interim knowledge exclusively to one of two competing development units.

The paper analyses the interaction of two topics that are a key area of concern for contemporary managers and researchers. These include supply chain management (SCM) and internet. The aim of the paper is to define e-SCM, analyze how research in this area has evolved during the period
1995-2003 and identify some lines of further research.

The paper studies endogenous growth driven by an expanding variety of
product where lenders limit credit up to the collateralizable value of existing
patents.

The authors develop a model describing the dynamic behavior of individual heterogeneous firms that explains why research and development effort is strongly related to productivity and patenting yet essentially unrelated to firm size or growth.

Tthe effectiveness of a public innovation policy aimed at stimulating private R&D investment is explored. The research question is whether public funding increases the total spending on research or merely displaces funding from other
sources.

The paper investigates the positive and normative effects of private information on research and development (R&D) activities. Results indicate that if the social planner is sufficiently impatient, a failure of information aggregation makes aggregate equilibrium expenditure in R&D on average too low with respect to the social optimum.
