摘要

本文比較國內廠商的聯合研發策略和政府的研發補貼對增進廠商在國際市場上競爭力的影響。文中討論兩種聯合研發(Cooperative Research)：一是研發資訊交換(Information Sharing)；一是研發合作(R&D Collaboration)。在兩國－三個廠商的模型下，研發資訊交換和研發合作皆有「利潤移轉」效果。當政府對研發補貼的量等於聯合研發所產生的外溢效果時，廠商從事研發資訊交換或研發合作的利潤都比政府對研發補貼高。此外，當研發的外溢效果等於1時，研發合作是增進廠商在國際市場上競爭力最佳的聯合研發模式。

This paper examines the roles that information sharing, R&D collaboration, and government R&D subsidy play in affecting the competitiveness of domestic firms in international markets. Using a simple three-firm two-country model and a simulation approach, we first analyze the strategies of information sharing versus R&D collaboration and find that the latter is more profitable than the former regardless of the rate of spillovers internalized. It is also shown that both strategies are able to generate a profit-shifting effect as that discussed in the literature on strategic trade policy. We then use an equivalent approach to analyze the effect of government R&D subsidy policy when the domestic firms do not engage in cooperative research. Our simulation results suggest that both information sharing and R&D collaboration among firms are superior to R&D subsidy. Further, R&D collaboration in the form of research joint venture is the best strategy in enhancing the domestic firms' international market competitiveness.
