Intellectual property rights and diaspora knowledge networks: Can patent protection generate brain gain from skilled migration?

Abstract: This paper studies mechanism through which intellectual property rights (IPR) protection can in ‡uence the impact of skilled migration on innovation activities in developing countries. We argue that knowledge acquired by emigrants abroad can ‡ow back to their country of origin through diaspora networks. IPR protection in the sending country magni…es this e¤ect by increasing the size of the innovation sector, thereby allowing diaspora gains to fall on a larger range of workers. Strong IPR enforcement therefore … Show more

“…3. Recently, the relevance of taking account Southern innovations in analyzing the appropriate arrangement of IPR protection is emphasized by many economists, such as Lorenczik and Newiak (2012), Mathew and Mukherjee (2014), Yi and Naghavi (2017) and Naghavi and Strozzi (2017).…”

“…The higher intellectual capital per worker results from the asymmetry of information, the breadth of opportunities, and the structure of incentives. Also, the knowledge acquired by migrants abroad can return to their country of origin through diaspora networks [35], and the application of intellectual property rights increases the chances that brain drain becomes into brain gain [36]. Although in the face of academic mobility decisions, the scientometric impact of the science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) infrastructure has priority over the quality of life in the host country (Human Development Index, HDI).…”
