Trips, Trade, and Growth
用两国内生增长模型分析知识产权对贸易、增长和技术转移的影响，发现不保护外国专利会减少全球研发、阻碍技术转移并降低增长。
A two-country model of endogenous growth is employed to assess the importance of intellectual property rights to trade, growth, and technology transfer. The paper provides theoretical results linking the intellectual property rights regime to trade patterns, aggregate R&D, worldwide growth, and aggregate welfare measures. Failure to provide patent protection for foreign-made innovations forces innovators to employ less than the best practice research technologies, reduces aggregate R&D activities worldwide, effectively eliminates technology transfer across countries, and reduces worldwide growth.
