Abstract
The object of this paper is to give a formal expression of the concept of threshold R&D levels, in the context of a very simple model. The existence of such a threshold and some factors affecting its magnitude are discussed. Some differences from a similar concept introduced by C. Freeman are discussed and related to the different goal postulated in the paper - zero profits instead of maintenance of market share.
