Abstract

[fre] L'objectif de ce papier est de s'interroger sur les conditions de robustesse de la coopération inter-firmes en R&D. À partir d'un jeu dynamique, nous mettons en avant trois principaux résultats : (i) par rapport à la littérature économique existante sur la coopération en R&D, dès lors que l'on introduit la possibilité pour les firmes de dévier, le résultat selon lequel la coopération en R&D est toujours meilleure pour les firmes que la non-coopération, n'est plus vérifié. Ce premier résultat permet d'avancer une explication à l'instabilité de la coopération en R&D ; (ii) nous montrons également comment la confiance et la réputation modifient les décisions des firmes dans leurs choix de coopérer en R&D. Plus les spillovers sont importants, plus il est difficile de faire émerger la confiance nécessaire à la coopération en R&D ; (iii) on montre qu'il devient plus facile de stabiliser la coopération en R&D quand celle-ci consiste non seulement à partager les coûts de production mais aussi à partager les résultats des efforts de R&D (« joint-venture en R&D »). [eng] The purpose of the present paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the conditions of stability in R&D strategie alliances. It develops a dynamic model of R&D cooperation (repeated game) and shows three main results : (i) first, it shows thai R&D cooperation with a possibility of deviance doesn't lead always to a higher payoff than non-cooperation. This result allows to give an explanation to the instability of R&D cooperation ; (ii) second, we show how trust and reputation modify the firms decisions in their cooperative choices. More knowledge is appropriable (correspond ing to high spillovers), more degree of trust required to cooperate must be high ; (iii) third, the model shows that it may be easier to sustain R&D cooperation in R&D Joint Venture when there is a technology sharing arrangement.
