Hence, the firm chooses to increase F (or S) to 1he Production of Technical Knowledge 41 compensate. If there is such a cooperative sharing arrangement, a rise in M may also provide a mitigating positive externality. Hence, the combined effect is ambiguous. 43), bold), then a counteracting increase in the marginal productivity of F (or S) will exist. 49) will reverse sign. Thus, within the context of the theoretical framework developed above, the assumption of technical complementarity would seem necessary to explain the complementarity often observed between private and public R&D.

Because M is exogenous, the firm's problem is to maximize profits over the decision variables F, p, and S. 7. This problem is strictly concave in the decision variables.
