全球化的今天,以TRIPs为代表的国际知识产权规则已经为绝大多数国家所接受。对“后发劣势”的发展中国家而言,加强知识产权保护是否会造成更加高昂的技术壁垒,从而在全球竞争中处于更加不利的地位?知识产权“最低保护标准”的建立,对于发达国家的投资贸易、特别是跨国公司的全球资源配置,又会产生怎样的影响?

内容简介:
This paper theoretically and empirically analyzes the effect of strengthening intellectual property rights in developing countries on the level and composition of industrial development. We develop a North-South product cycle model in which Northern innovation, Southern imitation, and FDI are all endogenous. Our model predicts that IPR reform in the South leads to increased FDI in the North, as Northern firms shift production to Southern affiliates. This FDI accelerates Southern industrial development. The South's share of global manufacturing and the pace at which production of recently invented goods shifts to the South both increase. Additionally, the model also predicts that as production shifts to the South, Northern resources will be reallocated to R&D, driving an increase in the global rate of innovation. We test the model's predictions by analyzing responses of U.S.-based multinationals and domestic industrial production to IPR reforms in the 1980s and 1990s. All the results suggest that the expansion of multinational activity more than offsets any decline in the imitative activity of indigenous firms.
