A process is provided whereby cycloolefin addition (co) polymers having excellent heat resistance, transparency and toughness and having a molecular weight adjusted such that the copolymers can form films, sheets and the like, are produced simply by using small amounts of a palladium catalyst and a molecular weight modifier without steps for removing the catalyst residues and unreacted monomers. The process for producing cycloolefin addition (co)polymers includes addition (co)polymerizing monomers including a cycloolefin compound as a main monomer, in the presence of ethene and catalysts including (a) an organic acid salt of palladium or a ²-diketonate compound of palladium; (b) a cyclopentylphosphine compound; and (c) an ionic boron compound or an ionic aluminum compound.
