Quality-improving alliances in differentiated oligopoly
F. Deroian, and F. Gannon. International Journal of Industrial Organization, 24 (3):
629-637(2006/5)
Abstract
We study rival firms' incentives in quality-improving Research and
Development (R&D) networks. The analysis stresses the role of free
riding associated to collaboration, and three major consequences
emerge: R&D efforts decrease with the number of partners, networks
of alliances are over-connected as compared to the social optimum
and the profit-maximizing number of alliances is possibly non-monotonic
(decreasing then increasing) with respect to inverse measure of product
differentiation.
