本研究利用美国和经合组织成员国的双边数据，考察了移民和商业网络如何影响知识产权贸易。这些分析的独特之处在于，它们通过将以往有关有形贸易-移民关系的研究与有关贸易-外国直接投资关系的文献结合起来，全面考察了网络效应。我们表明，知识产权出口与居住在美国的移民数量和美国在贸易伙伴的直接投资存量呈正相关。然而，它们与美国移民和外国直接投资流入美国没有任何关系。结果表明，网络效应取决于跨境要素运动的方向。
This study examines how migration and business networks affect the trade in intellectual property using bilateral data on the U.S. and OECD member countries. The analyses are distinct in that they comprehensively examine network effects by combining previous works on tangible trade–migration relationships together with the literature on trade–FDI relationships. We show that intellectual property exports are positively related to the number of immigrants residing in the U.S. and the U.S. direct investment stocks in trading partners. However, they do not have any relationships with U.S. emigrants and FDI inflows to the U.S. The result suggests that network effects vary depending on the direction of cross-border factor movements.
