This study investigates economic and strategic inducements of R&D cooperation. Focus is placed on industry and company factors that affect a firm's rate of participation in R&D consortia. These factors are analyzed in a dynamic context using a sample of 312 Japanese firms in 74 industries between 1969 and 1992. Results of the study show a firm in an industry with weak competition and appropriability conditions has a higher rate of consortia participation. A firm's R&D capabilities, network formation through past consortia, encounter with other firms in product markets, age, and past participation in large-scale consortia also positively affect its tendency of consortia formation. An issue that remains unexplored is how specific these findings are to the Japanese context, and how they generally apply to the US. Further investigation in the effects of industry and firm characteristics on a firm's formation of R&D consortia is soundly warranted..Printed Journal
