摘要：
By extending Cournot model, this paper investigates how the appearance of open source software (OSS) affects the R&D risk in a market initially monopolized by proprietary software (PS) producer. The software market exhibits network externality. It is found that (i) the R&D risk level of PS producer in the market monopolized by PS isn't higher than in this market emerging OSS; (ii) there exist some R&D cost functions making R&D risk level be lower when PS producer monopolizes the market than when it competes with an OSS producer.
