摘要：
Given multiple R&D programs with different degrees of risk but an identical expected outcome, this paper demonstrates that for risk-neutral firms the lowest-risk R&D program is dominant when the market profit is concave in R&D variable whereas the highest-risk R&D program is dominant when this profit is convex.
