Vertical organization, technology flows and R&D incentives: an exploratory analysis
Despite its importance, the impact of vertical organization on innovation incentives has not been investigated in depth. This paper develops a number of testable hypotheses and then provides a first exploratory empirical analysis, using cross-sectional industry-level data. Two simple stylized facts emerge from the empirical results. First, once a fragmented buyer industry is dependent on a relatively concentrated supply sector, the industry’s own R&D intensity is reduced substantially. Second, vertical technology flows appear to act as substitutes for an industry's own R&D if the receiving industry's concentration is relatively low. Both results are largely consistent with a number of case studies and with theoretical arguments discussed in the paper.
