| Abstract | This paper explores the determinants of R&D cooperation in Japanese high-tech start-ups. Using a sample from an original survey conducted in 2008, we examine the eects of founder-, firm-, and industry-specific characteristics on R&D cooperation by the type of partners. Our findings indicate that founder-specific characteristics, such as educational background, academic aliation and prior innovation output, are fairly important in determining R&D cooperation with universities or public research organizations. We also find that the roles of founders’ work experience and prior innovation output are significant in determining R&D cooperation with business partners. With respect to firm-specific characteristics, it is found that firms investing more in R&D tend to conduct R&D cooperation, regardless of the type of partners. It is also found that independent firms are less likely to cooperate on R&D with universities or public research organizations, than subsidiaries and aliated firms. |
