Strategic Use of Delay and Secrecy for Rent Protection in Technological Competition,ersion of the stopping game introduced in the last chapter. The quality or technological standard of the innovation is given, but an additional source of uncertainty is introduced. In the setting discussed below, firms have incomplete information about the productiveness of the research technology that is used in the industry.

1431-1933 is interaction technological competition. Firms invest into R&D in order to open up new or enlarge existing profit opportuni- ties for the future. A successful R&D-project leads to an innovation. An innovation introduced into the market changes the competitive structure of the industry. At the same

Sequential Innovative Entry and Endogenous Technology Choice,amework of Lippman and Mamer [1993]. In addition to the endogenization of technological standards chosen by firms under competition, I allow for sequential entry into the market. The entry times are freely chosen by the firms. With this generalization I obtain different classes of games of technolog
