DESCRIPTION:Prof. Alex Whalley\, University of Calgary\n"Patenting and Fir
 m Performance in the Global Economy"\n\n Abstract:\nThat both GDP and pat
 ents granted have increased by a factor of four in upper middle income cou
 ntries since TRIPS suggests global intellectual property rights have impor
 tant for productivity growth.  Yet\, because TRIPS passage was correlated
  with a host of productivity drivers – reductions in trade barriers\, im
 proved financial regulation and increases in educational attainment\, to n
 ame just a few – we do not know the causal effects foreign property righ
 ts recognition on domestic firm performance.  This project examines the e
 ffects of the granting of US patents on exporting\, productivity growth\, 
 and innovation by Indian companies.  We use the natural experiment of exo
 genous approval of US patent applications submitted by foreign firms to un
 derstand how foreign intellectual property right power firm performance.
