| Title | EFFECT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS REGIME TIGHTENING ON ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE: THE CASE OF INDIA |
| Summary | Effect of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) on developing economies is of high importance today. In this thesis it is argued that a tighter IPR protection leads to an increase in industry productivity. Two Vector autoregression models are constructed to examine the effect of the Patents (Amendment) Acts introduced in India in 1999, 2003 and 2005 on the index of industry productivity across 15 industries. The main model captures the effect of IPR protection on FDI inflows and on industry productivity, while the alternative model uses portfolio investments instead of FDI. Both the main and the alternative models are poorly confirmed, while the effect of FDI and innovative activity on industry’s productivity is strong in both cases. |
