科研众筹与公私合作

Crowdfunding for Scientific Research and Public-Private Partnership

科研众筹公私合作模式对于科研人员、政府部门以及社会公众具有多重积极效应,但是科研众筹在中国的发展较为滞后。制约公众参与科研众筹的因素一方面在于其风险收益特性,缺乏经济回报,另一方面则由于科研众筹双方的信任困局。本文从信任源与信任传递两方面,分析科研众筹信任困局产生的逻辑机理。科研活动的外部性保证了科研众筹与公私合作的相容性,在公私合作模式下,公共资金通过领投人机制缓解众筹双方的信任困局,激励公众参与科研众筹。应采用政府主导的方式构建科研众筹平台。科研众筹公私合作模式要取得预期效果,需不断提升平台的社会公信力。为此,要加强制度建设,走专业化发展道路,注重项目回报设置,做好信息披露与公开。

In China,the crowdfunding for scientific research is still lagging behind.There are two factors restraining the public from participating in the crowdfunding for scientific research:one is its risk-return characteristic and lack of economic returns;The other is the trust dilemma between the both sides of crowdfunding.The logic mechanism that triggers the trust dilemma is analyzed from two aspects:trust source and trust transfer.The externality of scientific research activities guarantees that the crowdfunding for scientific research and public-private partnership are compatible with each other.In the mode of crowdfunding for scientific research based on public-private partnership,the public funds can relieve the trust dilemma between the both sides of crowdfunding through lead-investor mechanism,thus encouraging the public to participate in the crowdfunding for scientific research.China should build a crowdfunding platform for scientific research in a government-leading manner.To attain the desired results of the mode,it is necessary to enhance the social credibility of the platform.To this end,efforts should be made to strengthen system construction,pursue specialized development,lay down project returns,disclose and make public relevant information.The mode of crowdfunding for scientific research based on public-private partnership has multiple positive effects on scientific researchers,government sectors and the public.
