Summary: The role of R&D Centers in technological development of industrial companies is crucial and significantly impacts industry's competitive strategies. One of the key challenges in the selection of new technologies is considering various heterogeneous factors. Research on technology selection at R&D Institutions and Centers is limited, and this study proposes a Multiple Criteria Decision Making model for evaluation, which is applied to a real case study of a Spanish manufacturing-focused R&D Center.

Summary: In this study, a methodology is developed and applied to estimate technology-specific R&D investments at the firm level. The results show significant variations in R&D investment per patent across technologies and firms developing a given technology. The study also finds that sector specificities play an important role in determining technology prices and economies of scale in knowledge production, and that differences in R&D intensity across firms are related to their technological choices.

Summary: This study constructs a duopoly model that considers technology R&D and sharing in carbon emission reduction. It analyzes market equilibrium, the impact of product differentiation, R&D costs, and sharing charges in four scenarios. The study also examines firms' decisions on R&D and technology sharing. The results suggest that product differentiation can increase firms' profits in most cases, but under price competition, it can reduce the profit of one firm. The decision on technology R&D is influenced by the other firm, as well as the costs associated with it. Sharing charges also affect the achievement of technology-sharing agreements.
