Strategic patenting and software innovation
Noel, Michael; Schankerman, Mark - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2006
Strategic patenting is widely believed to raise the costs of innovating, especially in industries characterised by cumulative innovation. This paper studies the effects of strategic patenting on R&D, patenting and market value in the computer software industry. We focus on two key aspects:...

Transnational spatial dependencies in the geography of non-resident patent filings
Perkins, Richard; Neumayer, Eric - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2011
This article provides new insights into how geography shapes spatiotemporal variations in the propensity of actors from particular countries to file for non-resident patents in specific foreign economies. Our major contribution is to show that, in addition to bilateral exports and outward...

What drives the international transfer of climate change mitigation technologies?: empirical evidence from patent data
Dechezlepretre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; Ménière, Yann - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2013
Technology transfer plays a key role in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we … technological capabilities tend to discourage transfers. While broad indicators of technology capabilities are expected to … facilitate transfers, this latter result stems from our technology-specific definition of local capabilities, which makes it …

Patents and the global diffusion of new drugs
Cockburn, Iain; Lanjouw, Jean O.; Schankerman, Mark - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014
This paper studies how patent rights and price regulation affect how fast new drugs are launched in different countries, using newly constructed data on launches of 642 new drugs in 76 countries for the period 1983-2002, and information on the duration and content of patent and price control...

Invention and transfer of climate change-mitigation technologies: a global analysis
Dechezlepretre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; Hascic, Ivan; … - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2011
This article uses the European Patent Office Worldwide Patent Statistical Database to examine the geographic distribution and global diffusion of inventions in thirteen climate-mitigation technologies since 1978. The data suggest that until 1990 innovation was driven mostly by energy prices....

Has ICT polarized skill demand? Evidence from eleven countries over 25 years
Michaels, Guy; Natraj, Ashwini; Van Reenen, John - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014
We test the hypothesis that information and communication technologies (ICT) “polarize” labor markets, by increasing demand for the highly educated at the expense of the middle educated, with little effect on low-educated workers. Using data on the US, Japan, and nine European countries from...
