本综述对专利政策、创新和经济增长方面的文献进行了有选择的回顾。鉴于专利制度对技术进步和经济增长的重要性,专利制度是激励创新的有用政策工具。然而,专利制度是一个多维体系,其特征在于专利政策工具的多样性。在本调查中,我们回顾了一些经常讨论的专利政策工具,如专利长度、专利宽度和封锁专利,并使用经典的熊彼特增长模型来展示它们对创新和宏观经济的不同影响。作者感谢澳门大学亚太经济管理学院的资助。通常的免责声明适用。总之,罗默表明,不受监管的市场将产生技术变革,但往往提供不足的R&D和它所创造的新产品。解决这一不足需要精心设计的政府干预,如R&D补贴和专利监管。他的分析认为,这些政策对长期增长至关重要,不仅在一个国家,而且在全球范围内。它还为政策设计提供了指导方针:专利法应该在创造新想法的动机(通过赋予开发者一些垄断权利)与其他人使用它们的能力(通过限制这些权利)之间取得适当的平衡时间和空间。瑞典皇家科学院(2018年)
This survey provides a selective review of the literature on patent policy, innovation and economic growth. The patent system is a useful policy tool for stimulating innovation given its importance on technological progress and economic growth. However, the patent system is a multi-dimensional system, which features multiple patent policy instruments. In this survey, we review some of the commonly discussed patent policy instruments, such as patent length, patent breadth and blocking patents, and also use a canonical Schumpeterian growth model to demonstrate their di⁄erent e⁄ects on innovation and the macroeconomy. to Yuichi Furukawa, Tatsuro Iwaisako, Christian Kiedaisch, Xilin Wang and Yibai Yang for helpful The author gratefully (cid:133)nancial support from the Asia-Paci(cid:133)c Academy of Economics and Management at the University of Macau. The usual disclaimer applies. To summarise, Romer showed that unregulated markets will produce technological change, but tend to underprovide R&D and the new goods created by it. Addressing this under-provision requires well-designed government interventions, such as R&D subsidies and patent regulation. His analysis says that such policies are vital to long-run growth, not just within a country but globally. It also provides guidelines for policy design: patent laws should strike the right balance between the motivation to create new ideas, by giving some monopoly rights to developers, and the ability of oth-ers to use them, by limiting these rights in time and space.
