Abstract

In this chapter we employ a model of research and development where it is modelled as a stochastic race in which the winner takes all, as the basis of an empirical study of the relationship between firm size and innovative activity. This model, first proposed by Nooteboom (1991), is an extension of earlier models by Loury (1979), Lee and Wilde (1980) and Dasgupta and Stiglitz (1980, 1981) to incorporate several possible effects of scale.
