The influence of complementary assets specialization on cooperative and noncooperative R&D in experimental duopoly markets

AJ model is the basic model for studying the option of cooperative and noncooperative R&D, which mainly analyzes the influence of technological spillover factor on the selection of cooperative R&D. Innovation complementary assets are important factors deciding whether innovator can monopolize the whole innovation profits, and they have drawn a lot of attention from theorists. Combining these two studies, this paper introduced the complementary assets specialization into the innovative function of AJ model, and designed a dynamic Game experiment between the enterprises in a duopoly market structure. The experimental study shows: Given the technological spillover factor, the more specialized the innovative complementary assets are, the greater tendency of the enterprises to choose the noncooperative R&D, and vice versa.
