Intellectual Property Protection,Technology Flow and National Innovation Capabilities
This paper aims to carry out deeply research on the important institutional guarantee role of intellectual property protection(IPP)in stimulating innovation and its influencing mechanism.Firstly,it constructs an indicator system including 6 first-level indicators and 18 second-level indicators,and combining the vertical depth measurement method and text analysis method,measures the protection depth of intellectual property protection clauses in 103 FTAs signed by 94 economies from 1993 to 2021.Second,it empirically tests the impact of IPP depth on national innovation capabilities,taking trade,net flow of foreign direct investment(FDI)and FDI technology transfer index as proxy variable of technology flow,examines the mediation effect of technology flow between IPP depth and national innovation capabilities,and then analyses the moderating effect of technological distance.The research results show that:the depth of intellectual property protection has a significant role in promoting the improvement of national innovation capabilities,and the impact is stronger on middle-income and low-income countries;analysis of middle-income countries shows that the inclusion of international agreements and transparency clauses have a stronger effect on improving national innovation capabilities;technology flow plays a mediating role in the process of IPP improving national innovation capabilities,and technological distance has a reverse moderating effect on the innovation promotion effect of IPP.
