The author examines whether for two different levels of technological spillovers, cooperative research and development (R&D) behavior voluntarily arises when firms have communication possibilities. Experimental results indicate that when technological spillovers are complete and subjects communicate, R&D decisions converge to the cooperative level, while in other cases R&D decisions converge towards the Nash equilibrium.
