本文研究的主要目的在於探討台灣技術創新廠商R&D合作研發行為。我們試圖探討影響創新廠商決定合作與否的因素,以及影響合作研發廠商採取合作策略(垂直合作、水平合作、機構合作以及混合合作)的因素。 我們利用民國90年至91年間,國科會與經濟部共同合作的台灣第一次技術創新調查資料。在實證研究中,我們使用Multinomial Logit Model以及Nested Logit Model來進行實證研究。 本文實證結果中得到最重要的發現是,流入的外溢效果來源不同,對於合作研發廠商進行合作研發策略有顯著的影響,亦即某種合作研發方式流入的外溢效果較大,則廠商越有可能進行該類型的合作研發方式。另外實證結果亦顯示,廠商規模在製造業和服務業中對於合作研發均有顯著的正效果;內部知識流動在製造業和服務業中對於合作研發均有顯著的負效果;外界資助在製造業中和服務業中對於合作研發均有正效果,但僅在製造業中有顯著的效果。
The main purpose of this study is to report new empirical evidences on the innovating firms' R&D behaviors in Taiwan. We try to explore heterogeneities in the determinants of innovating firms’ decisions to engage in R&D cooperation. And to explore heterogeneities in the determinants of cooperating firms' decisions to engage between four types of cooperation partners : vertical cooperation, horizontal cooperation, institutional cooperation and mixed cooperation. We use data on innovating firms drawn from the Taiwan Technological Innovation Survey 1(TTIS-1) which is jointly collected by the National Science Council and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the empirical studies, we use Multinomial Logit Model and Nested Logit Model. The most important finding of our empirical study is the sources of incoming spillovers will significantly affect cooperating firms' decision between different cooperation partners, which means the R&D cooperation of a type is more likely if the information coming from the potential partners is more important. Besides, from our emipircal study we also find the effect of Size is positive and significant on the R&D cooperation both in the Manufacture Industries and Service Industries. The effect of Internal Knowledge Flow is negative and significant on the R&D cooperation both in the Manufacture Industries and Service Industries. The effect of R&D subsidy on the R&D cooperation is positive both in the Manufacture Industries and Service Industries but only significant in the Manufacture Industries.
