本文研究了仿制药背景下的产品周期和新技术贸易理论。它分析了 1989 年至 2004 年期间 131 家印度制药公司的出口业绩。结果表明，国外专利权代理的技术对出口具有积极影响。这表明，具有工艺创新创新技能的发展中国家有能力利用专利在产品周期的后期阶段打入国际市场，而专利是产品周期早期阶段的贸易壁垒。 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This paper studies the product cycle and neo-technology theories of trade in the context of generic pharmaceuticals. It analyzes the export performance of 131 Indian pharmaceutical firms for the period 1989-2004. The results indicate that technology proxied by foreign patent rights has a positive impact on exports. This suggests that developing countries with innovation skills for process innovations are capable of penetrating international markets in the later stages of the product cycle by using patents, which were the barriers to trade in the early stages of the product cycle.
