摘要

本文研究了研究溢出效应下多产品垄断企业研发组织结构中研发中心在集中研发与分散研发之间的选择。我们证明，当监测和协调成本之间的差异相对较大，而产品充分分化，溢出效应较低时，分散的研发是有利的。研究还发现，在适度溢出和产品差异化条件下，分散研发可以产生更高的社会福利。我们的研究结果强调了政府在设计研发结构时需要采取细致的方法，考虑集中式和分散式研发之间的权衡，以协调生产者和消费者的激励。

Centralized Versus Decentralized R&D Within a Multiproduct Monopolistic Firm Under Research Spillovers

This study investigates the R&D organizational structure of a multi-product monopolistic firm where the central office decides between centralized and decentralized R&D under research spillovers. We demonstrate that decentralized R&D becomes advantageous when the difference between monitoring and coordination costs is relatively high while products are sufficiently differentiated with lower spillovers. We also find that decentralized R&D can yield higher social welfare under moderate spillovers and product differentiation conditions. Our findings underscore the governmental need for a nuanced approach in designing R&D structures, considering the trade-offs between centralized and decentralized R&D to align producer and consumer incentives.

期刊介绍： Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
