摘要
This paper investigates whether there might exist individual incentives for firms to disclose the scientific knowledge obtained by their laboratories. In plausible conditions, the only non-cooperative equilibrium of the two-firm disclosure game considered is such that both firms do indeed disclose this knowledge. For other parameter combinations the only industry equilibrium is such that one firm discloses its findings, the other keeps them secret.
