“…Our study provides empirical evidence on the importance of ensuring academic freedom for policymakers and other stakeholders engaged in science diplomacy [ 37 , 56 ]. Also, this is important for corporate R&D managers as it informs them about a crucial aspect of the geographical location choice of their R&D activities [ 57 ].…”

Academic freedom is a critical norm of science. Despite the widely postulated importance of academic freedom, the literature attests to a dearth of research on the topic. Specifically, we know little about how academic freedom relates to indicators of societal progress, such as innovation. We address this research gap by empirically assessing the impact of academic freedom on the quantity (patent applications) and quality (patent citations) of innovation output using a comprehensive sample of 157 countries over the 1900–2015 period. We find that improving academic freedom by one standard deviation increases patent applications by 41% and forward citations by 29%. The results are robust across a range of different specifications. Our findings constitute an alarming plea to policymakers: global academic freedom has declined over the past decade for the first time in the last century and our estimates suggest that this decline poses a substantial threat to the innovation output of countries in terms of both quantity and quality.

“…The establishment of IP model cities can serve as a valuable strategy to mitigate innovation externalities through government funding. Basic research often yields positive knowledge externalities [19,20], which can be enhanced by a robust property rights system that incentivizes innovation behavior [21,22]. The construction of IP pilot cities aims to improve IP administration, enhance IP protection, and provide great convenience for the creation, application, and protection of IP in universities.…”

Colleges and universities play a crucial role in fostering innovation, making it essential to explore effective strategies for promoting innovation at the institutional policy level. This paper focuses on the establishment of intellectual property model cities as a starting point and conducts an empirical analysis using innovation data from 234 cities and 942 colleges and universities between 2007 and 2017. By constructing a multi-temporal double-difference model, this study reveals that the establishment of intellectual property model cities effectively fosters innovation in colleges and universities. Further analysis demonstrates that this promotional effect is particularly significant in the western region, key cities, and key colleges and universities, as well as in the fields of invention and utility model patents. These conclusions withstand a series of robustness tests, confirming their validity. This study reveals that the national intellectual property pilot city policy has a significant influence on university innovation. It achieves this by encouraging investment in research and development and enhancing collaboration in innovation. The findings of this study provide important policy suggestions for maximizing the innovation potential of the intellectual property model city policy. This, in turn, can contribute to economic transformation, upgrading, and the promotion of innovation development in China.

“…In addition, it is unclear how nonmarket factors generate confidence so that companies have preferential treatment towards the protection of their intellectual property. For example, the weakness of a country in terms of investments in R&D restricts investments to a small group of companies, distorting the technological availability in the nation [41,59]. Companies created under intellectual property regimes have a higher rate of innovation based on product and process innovations [42].…”

The new concept to measure human freedom examines the relationship of the Coefficient of Liberalism (L); and, the variables grouped in three dimensions: the forces of modern markets, private property; and, Institutionality. The analyzed population corresponded to 116 countries. 158 variables were collected per country for 10 years. For the analysis, information from The Global Competitiveness Index Historical Dataset © 2008-2018 of the World Economic Forum was used, with which an Xnxl Database was used with index and coefficient values, country codes, global id, identified series and treatments (Income groups, Regions and Forum classification). The hypothesis test, linear regression analysis, ANOVA, PCA, univariate variance and eta-square were used as statistics. The L Coefficient has a statistically significant positive correlation with the Global Competitiveness Index (R 2 =0,82; F(1,114) = 516,61; Sig.=,000)); and, it served to evaluate the three treatments analyzed. The means of the income groups differ significantly, F(1,112) = 5,68, p < ,001, η2 = 0,14 for the dependent variable of the Coefficient of Liberalism (L). In addition, the means of the Regions differ significantly, F
