(This question is a “spin-off” from Naveen Sathyan’s: “Is modern research becoming more and more “publication oriented”?”)

Some granting agencies do not fully value an article in your CV unless you are the first author and / or the "corresponding author". Frequently, teams have to collaborate to achieve more ambitious goals. Will this different evaluation discourage collaboration? Can we have 3 or 4 first authors and 3-4 corresponding authors in one article?
