Abstract

This paper introduces the time dimension into the precompetitive R&D model, where both demand and spillovers vary over time. The effect of cooperation on R&D depends on a weighted function of spillovers, with the weights being a function of demand levels. The bulk of the incentives for innovation come from the growth phase of the industry.
