将垂直溢出纳入到产业链纵向研发合作中,讨论了由M 个上游企业、1个中游企业和N 个下游企业构成的三级产业链中,中游企业采取独立研发策略或费用分摊策略时,垂直溢出对研发合作产出的影响,并进行了对比分析。研究结果表明:无论中游企业采取独立研发或费用分摊策略,垂直溢出都会促进中游企业增加研发投入、研发产出,提高三级产业链的总利润和总产量,降低终端市场产品价格;相比于独立研发策略,在费用分摊策略下,中游企业研发投入规模更大、研发产出效果更好,产业链总产量更大,下游企业终端市场产品价格更低。但只有垂直溢出超过特定临界值时,采取费用分摊策略时,产业链总利润才会高于独立研发策略,此时选择纵向研发合作更为有利。
Base on vertical spillovers, this study establishes a vertical R&D collaboration model in a three-level supply chain, which consists of M upstream enterprises, one midstream enterprise, and N downstream enterprises, and the midstream enterprise can adopt either independent R&D strategy or cost sharing strategy to help form the vertical R&D alliance. Then we discuss the effects of midstream enterprise's two R&D strategies on its own' R&D outputs, the three-level supply chain's total profits and total output, and the downstream enterprises' product price. The results show that: first of all, vertical spillovers help to improve midstream enterprise's R&D output, en-hance total output and total profit of the three-level supply chain, and reduce the downstream enterprises' product price. Secondly, the cost sharing strategy is more effective than the independent R&D strategy to create effective R&D for the midstream enterprise, to enhance total output and total profit of the three-level supply chain, and to reduce the downstream enterprises' product price. Furthermore, only if vertical spillovers is high enough, the cost sharing strategy is more effective than the independent R&D strategy to enhance the total profit of the whole sup-ply chain.
