摘要：
In this paper, we allow the firms non-cooperatively but simultaneously to choose the R&D investment and output in different stages of the game with knowledge spillovers and show that when the deliberate decision of the firms on its R&D investment is acknowledged, entry is socially excessive. Our result has important implication for competition policy. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
