Partial equity ownership and knowledge transfer: An economic analysis of strategic alliances

自1997年以来，在澳大利亚境内已查明了5 462个股权战略联盟案例。2003年，澳大利亚竞争和消费者委员会拒绝了澳航和新西兰航空提出的建立这种联盟的建议，理由是这将是高度反竞争的。在什么情况下政府应该允许或阻止股权战略联盟的形成？在什么情况下，这种联盟能够使消费者和社会受益？该项目通过系统地探讨股权所有权与知识转让之间的联系来解决这些问题。它将为反垄断机构分析股权战略联盟的福利后果提出全面的指导方针，从而有助于澳大利亚经济的有效运作。

Since 1997, 5462 cases of equity strategic alliances have been identified within Australia. In 2003, the ACCC rejected a proposal by Qantas and Air New Zealand to enter into such an alliance on the grounds that it would be highly anti-competitive. Under what conditions should the Government allow or prevent the formation of equity strategic alliances? Under what circumstances can such alliances benefit consumers and society? This project addresses these questions by systematically exploring the link between equity ownership and knowledge transfer. It will contribute to the effective operation of the Australian economy by proposing comprehensive guidelines for antitrust agencies to analyse welfare consequences of equity strategic alliances.
