Description: Innovation is a major contributory factor to economic growth. How can it be encouraged? A solution that has received considerable support in recent years concerns the encouragement of cooperative R&D, especially among firms competing in high-technology industries.

This volume brings together recent contributions from a distinguished group of scholars from the UK, Europe, North America and Asia who examine a range of hitherto neglected issues, with the emphasis placed on the theoretical analysis of R&D cooperation.
