The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between competition and innovation through the knowledge spillover effect. In particular, we investigate whether RD one based on trade intensity between sectors using input–output matrix data. The empirical results show a positive effect of R&D externalities on competitive interactions before the beginning of crisis and a negative one after it. These findings are robust with respect to the procedure employed in the estimation method.
