Integrating competition policy and innovation policy: the case of R&D cooperation Georg von Graevenitz* Integrating competition policy and innovation policy: the case of R&D cooperation. G. v. Graevenitzy 28.02.2005 I develop a model of R&D cooperation with uncertain research outcomes. In this model asymmetric outcomes of R&D competition emerge naturally. Therefore ex-ante and ex-post R&D cooperation can be studied as alternatives for rms. Using this model I compare welfare losses under ex-ante and ex-post R&D cooperation as the degree of prod-uct market competition varies. It emerges that the relative size of these welfare losses is monotonically related to the degree of product market competition and the degree of...
