【报告摘要】

This paper considers the licensing of a cost reducing innovation in a Cournot oligopoly with licensing policies that are combinations of three instruments: per unit royalties, ad valorem or revenue royalties and upfront fees. The key insight is that per unit royalties have a location effect and ad valorem royalties have a scale effect on marginal costs. Using these two effects, it is shown that the same market outcome (price, quantities, operating profits) can be sustained by multiple combinations of per unit and ad valorem royalties. In general, there is a unique optimal three part tariff only if it is a pure upfront fee; otherwise, there is always a continuum of optimal policies, in which case there always exists an optimal three part tariff that consists of a positive per unit royalty and upfront fee but no ad valorem royalty. There may also exist optimal policies consisting of only two of three instruments (two kinds of royalties with no upfront fees or ad valorem royalties and fees with no unit royalty).
