Evolutionary game of inter-firm knowledge sharing in innovation cluster

The innovation cluster is a kind of cluster with “innovation as the goal” and an important direction for upgrading of industrial cluster. Under the analysis of behavioral characteristics of inter-firm knowledge sharing in innovation cluster, the equation of replicator dynamics is built in order to draw the evolution path of inter-firm knowledge sharing behavior in innovation cluster. Only the value-added revenue was greater than sharing costs and the sharing risk of enterprises, it may evolve into two kinds of evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS), which are the willing of knowledge sharing and the unwilling of knowledge sharing. As for which kind of ESS, it was affected by the change of model parameters. It can promote the effective knowledge sharing among enterprises in innovative cluster through reducing the sharing cost and risk, improving the ability and amount of enterprises knowledge, and establishing an incentive mechanism.
