“…The moderation of formal institutions on the link between trust and IPR According to Beck et al (2008) and Cruz-Garc ıa and Peir o-Palomino (2019), formal institutions are measured by economic-judicial institutions, including rules of law, regulatory protections or legal policies that established by the states. Previous studies have empirically validated the clear relationship between rules of law and property right protection (Chang et al, 2017;Christopoulou et al, 2021;Papageorgiadis and Sofka, 2020;Peng et al, 2017). Based on these studies, it is acknowledged that the higher level of law protection of a country, the lower its rate of software piracy.…”

PurposeThis study aims to empirically investigate how difference in social trust explains the heterogeneity of intellectual property right (IPR) protection (proxied by software piracy rate) across countries. Specifically, the authors also examine whether this effect is complementary or substitute to legal and economic factors.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use both ordinary least square and two-stage least square regressions to investigate this effect.FindingsThe authors find that there is also a complementary effect between trust and rule of law in reducing the violation of IPRs.Originality/valueAlthough the literature by now has documented the solid relationship between trust and the quality of formal institutions, only few studies have explored more specific measures of institutional consequences. Thus, this study is the first study investigating the role of trust, a valuable social capital dimension, on IPR protection.

“…In developing countries, the level of IPR infringement hazards often dictates the ease of acquiring advanced technology and knowledge. Countries with lower IPR infringement hazards see enhanced spillover effects of inward FDI (Christopoulou et al , 2021), fostering entrepreneurial intentions. Conversely, high IPR infringement hazards can lead to the theft and imitation of key technologies and knowledge assets, resulting in reduced knowledge spillovers from inward FDI and negative impacts on entrepreneurship (Chen, 2021).…”

Purpose The scholarly debate regarding the impact of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) on entrepreneurship remains inconclusive. This study aims to tackle this discrepancy by positing that the relationship between inward FDI and entrepreneurship in the host nation is not deterministic but is moderated by intellectual property rights (IPR) infringement hazards. These hazards are postulated to dictate the level of knowledge spillovers from inward FDI, thereby affecting entrepreneurial activities. Design/methodology/approach This study uses panel data regression analysis using data spanning 30 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2018. The Hausman test results rejected the null hypothesis, recommending the use of the fixed-effects estimator over the random-effects one for statistical consistency. Therefore, the fixed-effects estimator is used to test the hypotheses. Findings The study’s analysis reveals that the main effect of inward FDI on entrepreneurship is statistically insignificant. However, once IPR infringement hazards are introduced to the model as a moderator, the main effect turns statistically positive and significant. Notably, the positive main effect diminishes as IPR infringement hazards increase. Originality/value Highlighting the role of IPR infringement hazards as a moderator, this research unveils the nuanced relationship between inward FDI and entrepreneurship, thereby addressing the ongoing theoretical debate. This study demonstrates that knowledge spillovers from inward FDI are not automatic but depend on concerns about IPR infringements in the host nation. The resultant spillovers are then translated into entrepreneurial activities.

“…Another host country-specific control variable is the Level of FDI inflow into a host country. The literature (see Chari & Chang, 2009;Christopoulou et al, 2021) recognizes the level of CB acquisition activity in a host country as one of the determinants of the share of equity investments in CB acquisition. To account for the level of CB M&A activity in each host country, we followed Chari and Chang (2009) and used the annual FDI inflow in each host country.…”

This paper examines the impact of protectionism and intellectual property right (IPR) protection in host markets on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CB M&As). CB M&As have become important vehicles for firms to expand into foreign markets and acquire strategic assets. In recent years, the topic has attracted significant scholarly interest. Recently, many countries have enacted protectionist measures to protect local firms and jobs. Consequently, the impact such measures have on economic activities is under debate in the literature. This study leverages the vital context of CB M&As undertaken by US multinational enterprises (MNEs) between 2011 and 2017 in 49 host countries. The findings indicate that host country IPR protection has a much more substantial and positive impact on CB M&A activities undertaken by USA MNEs than the protectionist policies of the host country by itself. The findings further suggest that, although local protectionism, by itself, does not play a significant role in CB M&As, its presence strengthens the positive effect of IPR protection on CB M&A activities in the host country, thereby supporting the contingent role of such protection. These findings have important implications for research, practice, and policy.
