| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Do legal enforcements for competition policy have differential effects on innovative research and development activities? Taking into account both strategic R&D competition between incumbent and entrant, and government’s optimal choice of legal schemes, we first present a game-theoretic model of innovation and legal enforcement. Second, focusing on overseas subsidiaries of the Japanese auto-parts suppliers that have international deployments with different legal origins in locations, we use a pooled data set of the Basic Survey of Overseas Business Activities and the Basic Survey of Japanese Business Structure and Activities. It suggests that under regulation as a legal enforcement scheme instead of strict liability or negligence, even in countries with low degree of law and order, R&D activities would be more enhanced and R&D-deterrent ones be further suppressed on average. Legalenforcement for competition policy does matter for innovation.
