Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 經濟學研究所 === 99 === By analyzing the newly collected data from 2007 Taiwan Technological Innovation Survey, we explore the determinants for innovative firms to engage in R&D cooperation with four types of decisions, including non-corporation, vertical cooperation, horizontal cooperation, and institutional cooperation. In addition, we identify the impact of heterogeneities in the determinants on the failure of innovating activities. We use Multivariate Probit Model and Probit Model. It is likely to succeed in innovating activities when the firms adopt vertical cooperation, horizontal cooperation, or horizontal and institutional cooperation together for manufacture sectors. Meanwhile, it is favorable to choose vertical cooperation and institutional cooperation jointly or horizontal cooperation and institutional cooperation jointly for service sectors. Moreover, the failure of innovating activities is affected by incoming spillover effects and the R&D expenditure across manufacture and service sectors. In the empirical model of cooperative decision, we find that the determinants of R&D cooperation include incoming spillover effects and firm size, and that there exist complementarities between vertical cooperation, horizontal cooperation, and institutional cooperation. Finally, we do further research on the small and medium enterprise, and obtain the similar results.
