現有探討國際科技合作的論文,主要運用專利或研發投資分析重要的科技領域選擇與合作模式。本文與以往文獻主要不同之處,在於探討中國與先進國家的國際科技合作模式與動機,並藉由文獻量化分析進行驗證。 依據文獻量化分析法,本文以中國與美國、歐盟與日本的國際科技合作模式為研究主體,分析其國際科技合作模式。資料來源取自WOS資料庫,時間設定為1990年─2010年,並參考ESI所定義之20個學門領域。本文特別著重分析前五大學門領域,包含物理學、臨床醫學、工程學、材料科學與化學,並探討中國國際科技合作,結合採用顯示性比較優勢指數與固定效果量化模型進行分析,實證結果顯示,中國主要藉由國際科技合作學習他國先進科技為其核心因素。 The previous studies on cross border S&T cooperation mainly focus on the selection of important fields and the patterns of cooperation usually by measuring patents or R&D investments. Different from the previous studies, the thesis intends to explore the patterns and the motivations of China’s cross-border S&T cooperation especially with the advanced countries, by using the approach of bibliometrics instead. In line with the approach of bibliometrics, this study targets the patterns of China’s cross-border S&T cooperation with the U.S., EU, and Japan by measuring their international co-authorship and drawing on the WOS database of 20 fields over the period of 1990-2010. Especially by focusing on the top five important fields, namely physics, clinical medicine, engineering, materials science, and chemistry, the study intends to explore the determinants of China’s S&T cooperation hiring a quantitative model with the revealed comparative advantage index. As implied by the empirical evidence, cross-border learning is the core elements of China’s S&T cooperation.
