論文提要

Because of the deterioration in the quality of the environment, this paper studies the effects of the environment and the economy on environmental technology licensing in a homogeneous Cournot duopoly model in order to reduce the environmental pollution and seek the optimal social welfare.  To this end, two licensing methods, namely, a fixed-fee licensing method and a royalty licensing method are compared.  It is found that a high emission tax rate induces the innovator to not license the environmental technology to the licensee under the fixed-fee licensing method.  As for the social welfare, a large innovation scale of environmental technology does not guarantee that social welfare will be maximized.  Finally, a large innovation scale of environmental technology is likely to increase the consumer’s surplus if the marginal environmental damage is significant.  The consumers are likely to prefer royalty licensing to fixed-fee licensing.  This conclusion differs from Wang’s finding in 2002.

研究建議

(1)   階段設計中,第二階段與第三階段對調,會得到不同的結果。

(2)   文章中,在Royalty的授權方式下,因為Licensor選擇一個最適的royalty rate,導致市場結構變成獨占,降低文章的有趣性。然而獨占結果的產生,是階段設計所導致。

(3)   參數l,不是marginal environmental damage,而是environmental damage coefficient

(4)   文中關於比較靜態分析(tR/e < 0),應從社會的邊際利益與社會的邊際傷害的角度解釋。

(5)   本文屬環境的文章,所以IO的議題應減少,增加環境方面的討論。
