本文评估了美国出口是否、如何以及在多大程度上对专利权的国家差异敏感。我估计双边贸易方程,占贸易扭曲相关的专利权使用的数据在1992年国家对国家的制造业出口。我发现专利权薄弱是美国出口的障碍,但只对那些构成强烈模仿威胁的国家(如中国)。WTO协议要求的更强的专利权增加了美国对这些高威胁市场的出口。另一方面,在模仿威胁较弱的国家加强专利权,会加强垄断力量,减少美国对这些市场的出口。
This paper assesses whether, how, and to what extent U.S. exports are sensitive to national differences in patent rights. I estimate bilateral trade equations that account for trade distortions related to patent rights using data on state-to-country manufacturing exports in 1992. I find that weak patent rights are a barrier to U.S. exports, but only to countries that pose a strong threat-of-imitation (e.g. China). The stronger patent rights required under the WTO agreement increase U.S. exports to these high-threat markets. Alternatively, strengthening patent rights in countries that pose a weak threat-of-imitation reinforces monopoly power and reduces U.S. exports to these markets.
