| Research Abstract |
This research presents the investigation of the effects generated by the timing of taxation and R&D investment in the case where the regulator’s policy variable is emission tax, market structure is Cournot duopoly, and firm’s activity excluding production is emission abatement R&D. Furthermore, this study also examines whether the semi-collusive production by Cournot duopolists is socially allowable when firm’s R&D is carried out in order to improve the environmental quality of the good.
