摘要: | 由於許多產業(如汽車產業、航空業、電子產業以及電信產業等)具有「多要素與多產品 (multi-input-multi-product)」 的特徵,在這兩種特徵下廠商如何進行技術授權,及如何競爭是此計劃主要分析議題。有鑑於相關文獻研究的缺乏,本計畫將以垂直相關市場作為分析主軸,建立一個結合多要素、多產品與技術授權的一般化模型。根據此模型,我們將探討當存在「多要素與多產品」的特性時,中間財廠商如何決定均衡中間財價格、授權廠商如何決定均衡授權金與最適授權策略,以及兩家廠商如何決定均衡數量等議題。再者,本計畫也將針對不同的要素設定、不同的產品設定以及不同的技術授權方式,分析其對授權廠商選擇均衡權利金以及中間財廠商選擇均衡中間財價格的影響,並進一步分析比較各自對市場均衡的影響及差異。
Since multi-input-multi-product firms are commonly existing in many industries, such as the automotive, the aviation, the computer and the telecommunications industry, the optimal licensing contracts and the competitions among these firms are thus of interest. However, only few papers dealt with these issues systematically in the literature. Therefore, this project aims at proposing a general framework with multi-product, multi-input and technology licensing in vertically related markets, and investigating how the multi-product and multi-input affect the optimal licensing contracts within this framework. More specifically, I am going to analyze how a licensor determines its optimal licensing contracts, fixed licensing fee and royalty rate while licensing its technology to the rival, and what the equilibrium quantities are. The differences among these market equilibria corresponding to various model settings, then, will be systematically discussed and analyzed in this project. |
