چکیده
The aim of this paper is to explore the heterogeneity in R&D collaborations and of their determinants and motives. Using a recent French survey on research and innovation relations, we first show the heterogeneity of such relations thanks to a typology of their characteristics: their nature (common research, sub-contracting, multi-partnership, management of a common structure), organizational arrangement (contract, specific investments), duration and type of research (marketoriented vs. research-oriented). Five categories of collaborations are obtained from different combinations of these relational characteristics. Using a multinomial logit estimation (and testing for the IIA assumption), we then try to explain how this diversity of partnerships is related to a broad set of explanatory variables (economic rationale for the cooperation, knowledge spillovers, appropriability conditions and partners’ individual characteristics). Thanks to this original approach, we have obtained new results on R&D cooperation motives.

The inventive process has been often modeled as a bounded iterative trial-and-error recombinant search over complex landscape. Our main research question is whether such approximation is empirically valid. To investigate it, we develop a single-industry measure of invention interdependence and provide a relatively direct test of the canonical NK model. Our findings indicate that the NK model co...
متن کاملGovernment Subsidies and Incentives for R&D Collaboration
While both the determinants of R&D collaborations and the effects of government funding on private R&D expenditures have received considerable attention individually, the effect of their interaction on incentives for firm collaboration is not well understood. This paper develops a theoretical model which can explain a previously overlooked empirical finding: R&D collaborations that receive gove...

متن کاملUnintended triadic closure in social networks: The strategic formation of research collaborations between French inventors
The literature on social networks argues that they are clustered because agents like closing triangles (since this facilitates cooperation or increases match quality). However, in certain circumstances, network clustering may arise even though agents actually do not like redundancy in connections. We propose a theoretical model of the formation of new research collaborations that we estimate on...
