This paper develops a general equilibrium model with two firms in cooperative R&D projects to investigate the optimal assignment of principalship and residual distribution strategies. We make a distinction between cooperative R&D effort and monitoring effort. When it is costly to sign contracts on R&D efforts under complete information, it may be optimal to let one firm purchase the rights to monitor and to direct, and claim full residual. Principalship is the purchase of these rights. These rights are limited residual rights of control over R&D actions. In the benchmark case of incomplete information, we have also explored how the optimal assignment of principalship distribution in cooperative R&D and partnership depends on the interaction between each member’s importance in cooperative R&D, the effectiveness of monitoring and the degree of R&D teamwork.
