Overview

Examines the influence of government effectiveness on patent production in 111 countries, suggesting improved governance may decrease R&D impact.

Key Points

  • To explore how government effectiveness influences the relationship between R&D spending and patent output across countries.
  • Analyzed panel data from 111 countries from 2000 to 2020.
  • Employed two-way fixed effects models and System Generalized Method of Moments estimation.
  • Measured R&D expenditure as a percentage of GDP two years prior to patent applications.
  • Assessed government effectiveness using a relevant index from the same two-year window.
  • R&D investment significantly increases patent activity; a 1% increase in R&D correlates to a 39% increase in patents.
  • The relationship between R&D and government effectiveness is negative and statistically significant.
  • Nations with weaker institutions experience greater patent growth during capacity development.
  • Patenting behavior shows considerable persistence, validating path-dependent innovation processes.
