Optoelectronic in Japan: a market evaluation of government high-technology policy

Article Abstract:

Japanese high-technology firms have been long believed to be in a better position than their American counterparts. The Japanese government's practices such as financial support for industries, research grants, tax incentives, and low interest rate loans have been viewed to place US firms at a disadvantage in global competition with Japanese firms. However, developments in Japan similar to those experienced in the US such as financial deregulation and technological maturity now preclude government support for the development of new technologies.

Product market objectives and the formation of research joint ventures

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether a research joint venture (RJV) is an effective strategy to internalize the externality resulting from the inappropriability of research and development (RD). If RJVs coordinate RD investment, results suggest that RJVs should be promoted only when there are large spillovers. Moreover, since benefits of RJVs depend on several research efforts and product market characteristics, a wise RJV policy should be able to deal with each of these on a case-by-case basis.

Issues on Japan's intellectual product

Article Abstract:

Japanese fundamental technological research levels are relatively lower compared to the United States. This phenomenon can be explained by a number of reasons grounded in industry and society. Japan has inadequate resources for the promotion of new technologies and has a society comprised of an educational system that does not foster research of basic technologies. Individual inventors are also discouraged to innovate due to the country's patent protection law which favors manufacturers.
