Tax Differentials and the Segmentation of Networks of Cooperation in Oligopoly

This paper studies the effects of uncoordinated environmental tax policies on firms’ incentives to form bilateral R&D collaborations. It is shown that the complete network is pair-wise stable for small differences in the taxation of environmental emissions. Larger tax differentials may induce firms to break all their international collaborations.
