“…Bernstein (1988) and Jaffe (1986) find that interindustry spillovers have more effects on cost reduction than intraindustry spillovers. Bernstein finds that unit costs decrease more in response to an increase in intraindustry (interindustry) spillovers in industries with large (small) R&D cost shares.…”

CIRANOLe CIRANO est un organisme sans but lucratif constitué en vertu de la Loi des compagnies du Québec. Le financement de son infrastructure et de ses activités de recherche provient des cotisations de ses organisationsmembres, d'une subvention d'infrastructure du ministère de la Recherche, de la Science et de la Technologie, de même que des subventions et mandats obtenus par ses équipes de recherche. CIRANO is a private non-profit organization incorporated under the Résumé / AbstractCet article étudie les externalités de recherche verticales entre des firmes en amont et des firmes en aval. Il y a deux industries verticalement reliées, avec des externalités horizontales au sein de chaque industrie et des externalités verticales entre les deux industries. Quatre structures de coopération en R&D sont considérées : pas de coopération, coopération horizontale, coopération verticale, et coopération horizontale et verticale simultanément. Les externalités verticales augmentent la R&D et le bien-être, alors que les externalités horizontales peuvent les augmenter ou les diminuer. La comparaison des structures de coopération en terme de R&D révèle qu'aucune structure ne domine uniformément les autres. Le classement des structures de coopération dépend des externalités horizontales et verticales, et de la concurrence. Le classement dépend des signes et magnitudes de trois externalités concurrentielles (verticale, horizontale et diagonale) qui captent l'effet de la R&D d'une firme sur les profits des autres firmes. Un des résultats de base de la littérature sur l'investissement stratégique est que la coopération entre concurrents augmente (diminue) la R&D lorsque les externalités horizontales sont élevées (faibles); le modèle montre que ce résultat n'est pas toujours vérifié en présence des externalités verticales et/ou de la coopération verticale. Le papier propose une théorie reliant le degré d'innovation à la structure du marché : la relation entre la concurrence et l'innovation dépend des externalités horizontales, des externalités verticales et de la structure de coopération. Les incitations privées à la coopération en R&D sont examinées; on montre que les vendeurs et les acheteurs ont des préférences différentes quant au choix de structure de coopération et que les externalités augmentent la vraisemblance de l'émergence décentralisée de la coopération. This paper studies vertical R&D spillovers between upstream and downstream firms. The model incorporates two vertically related industries, with horizontal spillovers within each industry and vertical spillovers between the two JEL: L13, O32Some of the issues examined are absorptive capacities (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990), price vs. quantity competition 2 (Delbono and Denicolo, 1990), Stackelberg leadership (Goel, 1990), process vs. product innovation (Levin and Reiss, 1988), partial cartelization (Kamien and Zang, 1993;Poyago-Theotoky, 1995;De Bondt and Wu, 1997), asymmetric firms (Rosen, 1991; PoyagoTheotoky, 1996), asymmetric spillovers (Jarmin, 1993), and spillo...

“…The first measures the influence of R&D spillovers econometrically by treating spillovers as an unweighted sum of the R&D of all other firms or industries. Examples are Levin andReiss (1984, 1989); Levin (1988); Bernstein (1988); and Bernstein and Nadiri (1989). The second measures the R&D spillover variable as a weighted sum of all external R&D. The papers using this approach can be further subdivided into four subgroups, according to the proximity measure used to construct the weights.…”

Industry-level performed R&D and embodied R&D variables were constructed from an input-output model developed in a previous paper on technology diffusion. The productivity variables used in this paper are Divisia growth indexes of TFP which were consistently estimated by an input-output based growth accounting procedure. The aggregate TFP estimates showed some recovery in the 1980s in most countries and notably in the United States, where most of this recovery was in manufacturing. The results from pooled regressions across countries and across industries during the 1970s and 1980s indicate that the rates of return of both R&D variables are positively significant and increasing in the 1980s. The estimated rate of return of direct R&D for manufacturing is about 15% on average across the countries and no significant difference is observed between the two decades. However, the rate of rerun of direct R&D varies across the countries: in the 1970s Japan showed the highest return (40%) but in the 1980s it was highest in Italy (50%) and Canada (30%). On the other hand, embodied R&D is an important source for productivity growth in services, pointing to very high social returns of the flows of capital-embodied technology into this sector: on average across the countries it was about 130% in the 1970s and 190% in the 1980s.
