Description
Summary:碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 建築及都市計畫研究所 === 91 === Instead of physical capital and labor, intangible input, such as technical know-how, has become the basis of economic growth for the emerging of knowledge-based economies. Re-construction of high technology and traditional industries has been the major task for most countries. In the past, the government-led policy has been the major factor of Taiwan’s economic miracle. However, most industries have faced the challenge of upgrading technology in order to improre the out put capacity of the production environment. Through the application of the input-output analysis, this thesis suggests that as the quantitative limit of the industrial zone has been reached, emphasis should be placed on improring the quality of the production environment in industrial zones. This thesis employs game theory to analyze the competitiveness of the industrial zones. Both Nash and Stackelberg’s theories of equilibria and analyzed and compared to ascertain how firms in a particular industrial zone may maximize profitabi profitability while minimizing expenditure. The result shows that Stackelberg’s equilibrium value isn’t lower than Nash’s equilibrium value. Besides, as the competitiveness of industrial zones increases, Nash’s equilibrium value isn’t necessary higher than Stackelberg’s equilibrium value if the maximum production environment demand that the industrial zone provides to the firms is decided. By comparing the results from Nash’s and Stackelberg’s equilibrium, the firm’s production environment cost can be assessed. Through examining the supply and demand and environment cost, the equilibrium between the types of environment demand and environment cost in industrial zones can be obtained. The findings suggest that either the supply of environment cost, based on Nash’s or , based on Stackelberg’s will be the function of the probability of the environment demand in industrial zones. The findings of this thesis will establish a bench mark for other industrial zones to improve in quality in order to enhance their firms’ competitiveness.
