Investments in research and development (R&D) and innovations are proven to be vital catalysts for the successful transition into knowledge-based economies. Despite the growing importance attached to innovations and R&D, they have yet to receive enough scholarly attention in developing...

Incentivizing innovation through buyouts may alleviate the social costs associated with patent power, but the political economy and feasibility of this potentially important financing mechanism have been understudied. We study an international setting of countries with different innovation and...

The effects of the betterment of enforced intellectual property rights (IPRs) provisions on services export diversification are investigated. The analysis used an unbalanced panel dataset of 76 developing countries over the period of 1970-2014. The empirical analysis is based on the feasible...
