DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ivan Png\, National Unversity of Singapore\n"R&D Contrac
 ting and Appropriability: Evidence from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 
 Federal Circuit "\n\nAbstract\nDevelopers of technology can perform R&D fo
 r themselves and then commercialize technology or they can perform R&D for
  others (contract R&D). Technology is non-rival and non-excludable\, and s
 o\, difficult to contract on. Stronger patent law increases appropriabilit
 y\, which supports commercialization through sale of product\, or licensin
 g or sale of technology. Exploiting differences in the increase in patent 
 validity across states due to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Ci
 rcuit\, we find that the CAFC was associated with 2.2 percent less contrac
 t R&D. We interpret this as the CAFC leading companies to perform more R&D
  for self-commercialization. The effect was stronger in industries where p
 atents are reported to be more effective in appropriation\, in larger and 
 more diversified companies\, and in companies with larger complementary as
 sets in manufacturing or advertising.\n\n
