RT Monograph SR 00 A1 Auriol, Emmanuelle A1 Biancini, Sara A1 Paillacar Reeve, Rodrigo T1 Intellectual property rights protection and trade: an empirical analysis YR 2022 FD 2022-09 VO 22-1354 SP 66 K1 Intellectual Property Rights K1 Innovation K1 Developing Countries K1 Market Potential K1 Trade AB The paper proposes an empirical analysis of the determinants of the adoption of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and their impact on innovation in manufacturing. The analysis is conducted with panel data covering 112 countries. First we show that IPR protection is U-shaped with respect to a country’s market size and inverse-U-shaped with respect to the aggregated market size of its trade partners. Second, reinforcing IPR protection reduces on-the-frontier and inside-the-frontier innovation in developing countries, without necessarily increasing innovation at the global level.
