Preemptive Search and R&D Clustering Revisited
Working Paper No. PVC-2
Posted: 27 Aug 1999
Date Written: May 1999
Abstract
The results obtained by Cardon and Sasaki (1998) on R&D clustering are derived under the specific assumption that firms only can own one patent. When multiple patents are allowed, R&D clustering will come about more frequently if search costs are substantial.
