Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the impact of cooperation on R&D investments in a two-sided market, where platforms compete in quantities. We show that if indirect externalities are of a moderate magnitude, the threshold degree of spillovers above which cooperation spurs R&D investments and enhances social welfare increases with the degree of externalities. If indirect externalities are of a strong magnitude, cooperation can also be beneficial in terms of welfare for low degrees of spillovers.
