知识产权保护、技术创新与技术转移——基于发展中国家的视角

Intellectual Property Rights Protection,Technology Innovation and Technology Transfer: From the Perspective of Developing Countries

本文在发展中国家视角下构建了分析知识产权保护制度与技术创新、技术转移和劳动力工资之间相互关系与作用机制的基本框架,并且利用2003年至2012年美国在亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲26个国家的跨国公司面板数据进行了经验验证。结果表明:首先,当知识产权保护加强时,高质量产品的创新成功率将会在一定时期内降低;其次,当知识产权保护加强时,技术领先者所在的发达国家与成本较低的发展中国家之间的工资差距会拉大;最后,当知识产权保护加强时,实施保护制度的发展中国家的社会福利会恶化。

From the perspective of developing countries,the paper analyzes the interrelation and mechanism among intellectual property rights protection,technology innovation and technology transfer. And the data of United State's multinational firms located in the countries of Asian,Africa and Latin America from 2003 to 2012 is used to do the empirical test. The results are the followings. First,with the stronger intellectual property rights protection,the probability of successful innovation of high quality products will decrease in the certain period. Second,with the stronger intellectual property rights protection,the gap between the developed nations and developing ones will be widened. Finally,with the stronger intellectual property rights protection,the welfare of south countries' consumers will be damaged.
