r&d

The authors characterize asymmetric equilibria in two-stage process innovation games and show that they are prevalent in the different models of R&D technology considered in the literature.

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 paper investigates the links between the nature of contractual relationships within firms, the strength of information flows spreading between firms and the dynamics of technological competition.

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

The author presents an endogenous growth model that studies the effects of local inter-industry and intra-industry knowledge spillovers in R&D on the allocation of economic activities between two regions.

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 examines academic earmarks and its role in the funding of university research. It provides a summary and review of the evidence on the supply of earmarks by legislators.
