【摘要】Recent technological changes have made it easy for firms to collect data on their consumers, which in turn allow them to improve the efficiency of their R&D. We explore the strategic interaction that occurs when two firms compete in a vertically-differentiated market to acquire this data and invest in R&D. We find that if the initial quality lead is not too large, there exist equilibria where the laggard is able to reverse the lead by being particularly aggressive in acquiring this consumer data. While total welfare is higher when the initial leader maintains its lead, consumers prefer leapfrogging.
