Intellectual Property Rights and South-North Formation of Global Innovation NetworksMaria Comune Jr.University of Siena - Department of Economics; Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), Milan Alireza NaghaviUniversity of Bologna - Department of Economics Giovanni PraroloUniversity of Bologna; Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) August 25, 2011 FEEM Working Paper No. 59.2011 Abstract: This paper explores the role of IPR protection in the emergence of R&D linkages from newly emerging economies. Using data from a new survey on Chinese and Indian firms in the ICT sector, we find IPR protection to be key in the engagement of Southern firms in global innovation networks. A complementary exercise uses global bilateral patent data to investigate the location-specificity of IPR enforcement for this phenomenon. We find that a stringent IPR regime in the North (South) discourages (encourage) foreign patenting activities of firms in the South, suggesting that a global convergence of IPRs can stimulate Southern innovation.
