Intellectual Property and Competition as Complementary Policies: a Test Using an Ordered Probit Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Utilizing economic theory, this paper tests the proposition that intellectual property rights and competition policy are complementary policies. An ordered probit model is applied to a sample of over 4,000 firms in 36 countries in order to estimate the marginal effects of the use and quality of enforcement of intellectual property rights on a measure of the degree of seriousness of competition problems. The results obtained reinforce the notion that competition and IP are not contradictory policies.
