Intellectual Property Rights and Innovation Policies in China: A Review Based on Quantitative Research

【中文摘要】本文基于对经济学相关理论和经济学界针对中国知识产权（intellectual property，IP）和企业创新领域的前期实证研究的总结，提出以下观点：第一，我国经济增长模式已经走过了外延式增长到内涵式发展的转折点，较高水平的知识产权保护有利于我国经济发展；第二，地方政府在知识产权制度方面的创新试验可以有效加强知识产权保护并促进企业创新和发展；第三，各级政府的创新激励政策可能产生预料之外的负面影响，如提高专利数量的同时也降低了专利的平均质量；第四，与行政保护相比较，司法保护具有优点，但也有劣势，尤其在司法地方保护主义与司法腐败仍普遍存在的当前，知识产权的行政保护具有其必要性。总结我国知识产权保护方面的经验与教训，有利于创新政策和知识产权保护措施的有效实施。 【Abstract】This paper reviews economic theories that relate intellectual property (IP) rights protection to innovations and empirical studies that evaluate the impacts of various corporate innovations in China. We make the following arguments：the growth of Chinese economy has reached the turning point in that the nature of growth is switching from extensive growth to intensive growth，implying a beneficial role of IP rights protection in economic growth；local experimentation in improving IP rights protection has been effective in promoting corporate innovations and growth；government policies used to provide monetary incentives for innovations have seen unintended consequences such as lower average quality of patents：despite the IP rights protection provided by the judicial system，governmental administration still plays an important role in China，especially in the presence of corruption and local protectionism in the judicial system.本文感谢国家自然科学基金面上项目“产业政策的微观基础和我国产业结构转型研究：基于产业空间理论的考察”（71273217）、国家自然科学基金应急管理项目“中国应对‘双反’调查的策略研究与政策建议”（71741001）、中央高校基本科研业务费专项资金项目“大数据时代知识产权与创新发展研究”（2072015100）的资助
