هزینه های هماهنگی و قرارداد جوینت ونچر تحقیقاتی

We find that the performance of the RJV in comparison to R&D competition is sensitive to the level of coordination costs. Although the RJV may no longer conduct a unit of R&D at a lower cost compared to an independent firm in the non-cooperative R&D regime, RJV members can still make savings on their own R&D outlay through information sharing. We establish that there can be profitable but welfare-reducing RJVs and that R&D competition can generate a better outcome depending on the extent of coordination costs.
