An Inquiry into Research Joint Ventures of the European Union

本研究项目旨在建立一个关于欧洲研究合资企业（rjv）的数据库，并对企业组建rjv的动机、rjv对成员企业总体支出和盈利能力的影响等问题进行实证分析。企业责任合资企业是企业联合起来从事共同感兴趣的研究和开发的一种安排。这些安排对于高技术工业公司的竞争战略来说已经变得越来越普遍和重要。该数据库将与目前正在进行的关于美国公司的数据库相补充和比较，并将能够分析美国研究合资企业与欧洲研究合资企业之间可能存在的差异。该数据库还将提供额外的机会，以实证检验理论经济学和商业文献的责任企业。＊＊＊

SRS 9616859 Vonortas This research project aims to develop a database on European research joint ventures (RJVs) and conduct empirical analysis on issues such as the incentives of firms to form RJVs, the impact of RJVs on the overall expenditures and profitability of member firms. RJVs are one of the arrangements whereby firms join forces to undertake research and development of common interest. These arrangements have become increasingly common and important for the competitive strategies of firms in high technology industries. This database will be complementary and comparable to a database currently in progress on U. S. firms and will enable analysis of possible differences between U. S-based research joint ventures and those that are European based. This database also will provide additional opportunity to empirically test theoretical economics and business literature on RJVs. ***
