摘要

廠商間的合作並非水到渠成，而是受諸多因素的影響，文獻上將研發聯盟，依成員間合作程度的高低，分為卡特爾研發聯盟與競爭性研發聯盟。在競爭性研發聯盟，成員雖共享研發成果，但以自己的利潤極大來決定其研發支出。在卡特爾研發聯盟，聯盟成員間的合作程度高，成員間除了共享研發成果外，聯盟以成員之利潤和為決定個別成員研發支出之依據。本文的第一個目的乃針對不同合作程度的聯盟型態，比較其穩定與最適的聯盟結構。本文第二個目的乃要分析那一種合作程度的聯盟，其均衡聯盟結構的社會福利較高。

According to the intensity of cooperation, the literature differentiates two types of research alliances (RA), competitive RA and cartel RA. In both types of RA, partners share their research results. However, in cartel RA, each partner determines her research expenditure to maximize the sum of the member's profit, while in competitive RA, each partner determines her research expenditure to maximize her own profit. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the stable coalition structure and optimal coalition structure (which maximize the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus) under these two types of RA. From the previous results, we can tell the discrepancy between stable structure and optimal structure under each type of RA. And these results give us two policy suggestions. First, given the type of RA, the government can tailor the policy to influence the alliance structure, moving it from equilibrium structure toward optimal structure. Second, the government can also take actions to change the intensity of cooperation in order to realize the best type of RA.
