Foreign IPR, Trade and Innovation: Does complexity matter?

Jose Fernandez Donoso ()

No 23, Serie Working Papers from Universidad del Desarrollo, School of Business and Economics

Abstract: This paper studies the relation between foreign intellectual property rights affect exporting firms' productivity when industries have different technological complexity. Using simple functional forms, the dynamic model derives endogenous steady state distributions of exporting firms' productivity. Numerical simulations show a non-monotonic effect of complexity on productivity, and a positive effect of IPR. Empirical evidence using labor productivity measures support the findings of the theoretical model
