讲座题目：Reclaiming Brain Power: The Impact of Global Strengthening of IPRs on the Movement of Inventors

讲座摘要：The number of highly skilled workers residing in a country represents a key source of national innovative capacity. Much attention has been paid to the policies in high-income countries that attract high-income immigrants, but less is known about which policies contribute to the retention of innovators in their home countries.  We ask what role intellectual property rights （IPRs） play in innovators' migration decisions, and how the strengthening of IPRs in emerging and developing countries （EDCs） since the 1994 Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights （TRIPS） affected the rate of inventor emigration （or brain drain） from EDCs. Using data on the nationalities of inventors and their countries of residence in patent filings, we document rising rates of inventor emigration from low-income to OECD countries in organizational （corporate and public） patents between 1993 and 2011. However, during the same period, the emigration rate of individual inventors declined, leading to a widening gap in estimated rates of emigration between individual and organizational  patentees. EDCs that implemented TRIPS experienced a significant reduction in the rate of emigration to OECD countries by individual relative to organizational inventors.
