Research Abstract |
Purpose of our study is to verify the NO connection of the research and the development in the Japanese pharmaceutical R & D. Our result of simultaneous estimation of patent and blockbuster equations on Japanese pharmaceutical companies are summarized as follows :(i) The development process is much more affected by the investment scale than the research process is ;(ii) The empirical effect of patents on the number of blockbuster is not significant. Therefore our result supports the empirical independence of development process and the research process due to the qualitative difference in the characteristics between the research sub-processes and development sub-processes.
