“…(Maskus and Penubarti, 1995, Rafiquzzaman, 2002, Smith, 1999, 2001). In the early 2000s, studies began to focus on developing countries' trade flows and the role of IPR rights (Park and Lippoldt, 2005, Awokuse and Yin, 2010, Yang and Maskus, 2009, Branstetter et al, 2005. With respect to China, Awokuse and Yin (2010) Some studies analyze the role of innovation and government policies in explaining the rapid development of the renewable energy sector in China.…”

Abstract. This paper examines a foreign technology holder's licensing choices between royalty and fixed-fee scheme. We emphasize that foreign licensor chooses the quality of licensed technology when the licensee country does not implement perfect intellectual property protection for licensor's technology. We study quality choice as the foreign licensor's selection for a particular grade of technical skills. We show that fixed fee emerges as the equilibrium licensing scheme when both the transfer of his technology is relatively efficient and the licensee is sufficiently cost competitive in the domestic market, and that royalty licensing prevails otherwise. We further show it need not hold the general belief that welfare in the licensor country unambiguously rise with a stronger patenting system in the licensee country when, in particular, such patenting system in place is sufficiently lax.

“…It has been shown empirically that a very strong IPR protection regime in a particular location can be detrimental to competition and welfare (Yang & Maskus, 2009). In developing countries in particular, a strong IPR protection regime can be an impediment to accessing scientific knowledge and reduce the collaboration opportunities (Forero-Pineda, 2006).…”

Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) develop and sell their products and services in a global market, but also have the ability to source knowledge from local, global and intra-MNE networks. We argue that sourcing knowledge from each of the three networks is contingent upon factors, such as the strategic choice made by the headquarters about the role of the research and development (R&D) subsidiary, the scientific richness of the host location, and the institutional (i.e. IPR -Intellectual Property Rights) distance between the home and host locations. We test our hypotheses on a dataset of 89 foreign-based R&D subsidiaries of Fortune 500 MNEs.Our results indicate that R&D subsidiaries with support lab mandates are less likely to use host and internal (intra-MNE) sources of knowledge and more likely to use the home location's sources of knowledge. Internationally independent labs are less likely to source knowledge from internal networks. Our findings show also that the scientific capability and availability of a technically skilled workforce in the host location is associated with the R&D subsidiary's use of local, rather than internal 2 knowledge sources. Finally, we find that weak IPR spurs the use of local knowledge sources, suggesting a role for technological spillovers.
