Choosing to Exchange Research Ideas

Keely, Louise
March 2002

Why do academic economists tend to be secretive about their research ideas before the ideas are transformed into a written paper? More generally, why would agents not be willing to trade ideas that are used as an input into innovation? I develop a model to argue that the answer to this question is not obvious. In fact, under a broad set of conditions, such trade may be chosen by agents. I then identify two market conditions under which such exchange is limited or abandoned. The first condition is sufficiently intense competition in the market for the innovation for which ideas are an input. The second condition is sufficient asymmetry in the quality of ideas across agents.
