Summary

This paper deals with an oligopolistic industry characterised by the joint presence of firms which adopt cooperative and noncooperative conducts in R&D activities before competing in outputs. The effects of different levels of information sharing of the R&D outcomes among cooperative firms on firms profit and social welfare are analysed. In this framework low spillover degree assures that private incentive to cooperate in R&D activities coincide with the social incentive to maximise economic welfare.
