This article proposes capability heterogeneity of R & D consortia participants as a condition to distinguish two competing motives for cooperative R & D cost - sharing versus skill - sharing. An analysis of 398 questionnaire responses from participants in japanese government - sponsored R & D consortia finds that the relative importance of the cost - sharing motive in R & D consortia increases when participants' capabilities are homogeneous or projects are large, while the relative importance of the skill - sharing motive in R & D consortia increases with heterogeneous capabilities. The skill - sharing motive is likely to increase a firm's R & D spending, implying an additional consideration for management's evaluation of cooperative R & D participation, as well as adding a new policy implication of cooperative R & D.
