Cooperation in the classroom : experimenting with R&D cooperatives

Michelle Sovinsky Goeree; Jeroen Hinloopen

This paper describes a classroom experiment that illustrates the research and development investment incentives facing firms when technological spillovers are present. The game involves two stages in which student sellers first make investment decisions then production decisions. The classroom game can be used to motivate discussions of research joint ventures, the free-rider problem, collusion, and antitrust policy regarding research and development.
