由於許多產業(如石化產業、鋼鐵產業及純電動車產業)具有「技術授權(technology licensing)」的特徵，在此特徵下,公、民營廠商如何選擇進入市場的時序,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，本計劃以混合雙佔模型作為分析主軸，建立一個結合技術授權與廠商進入時序的一般化模型。根據此模型，我們將探討當授權廠商為公營廠商(或為民營廠商)時，廠商如何決定均衡數量與最適進入時序,以及授權廠商如何決定均衡權利金與最適授權策略等議題。再者,本計劃也將針對各種的廠商進入時序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廠商選擇最適進入時序的影響,並進一步分析比較各自對市場均衡的影響及差異。
Since technology licensing is commonly existing in many industries, such as the steel and the petrochemical industry, the optimal entry timing 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 entry timing and technology licensing in mixed duopoly, and investigating how the technology licensing affect the optimal entry timing 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, how a firm determines its optimal entry timing, 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.
