Dynamic R&D with spillovers: a comment. (English) Zbl 1401.91045

Summary: R. Cellini and L. Lambertini [ibid. 33, No. 3, 568–582 (2009; Zbl 1170.91322)] study a dynamic R&D game with spillovers. This comment demonstrates that, contrary to what is claimed in their paper, the game is not state redundant and the open-loop Nash equilibrium is not subgame perfect.
