This paper introduces a new internationally comparable data set that permits an empirical
investigation of the effects of patent law on innovation. The data have been constructed from
the catalogues of two 19th century world fairs: the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London, ...

General purpose technologies (GPTs) are credited with generating the increasing returns
that drive endogenous growth. For example, Paul David (1991) explains the surge in US
productivity during the 1920's as a delayed response to the introduction of the electric ...

Members of a patent pool agree to use a set of patents as if they were jointly owned by all
members and license them as a package to other firms. Regulators favor pools as a means
to encourage innovation: Pools are expected to reduce litigation risks for their members ...
This paper argues that the ability to keep innovations secret may be a key determinant of
patenting. To test this hypothesis, the paper examines a newly-collected data set of more
than 7,000 American and British innovations at four world's fairs between 1851 and 1915. ...
Abstract: This paper introduces a unique historical data set of more than 8,000 British and
American innovations at world fairs between 1851 and 1915 to explore the relationship
between patents and innovations. The data indicate that the majority of innovations-89 ...

Legal disputes, such as the Blackberry case, suggest that patent rights may become vital to
the economic survival of even the most successful innovations. Although it is obvious that
inventors do not choose to patent all their innovations, what or why they patent is poorly ...
Compulsory licensing allows firms in developing countries to produce foreign-owned
inventions without the consent of foreign patent owners. This paper uses an exogenous
event of compulsory licensing after World War I under the Trading with the Enemy Act to ...

Patent laws are designed to create the optimal incentives for innovation, but we know little
about how exactly this works.'The need to better understand the effects of patent laws is
particularly urgent today, as industrialized countries lobby to introduce and strengthen ...
A significant challenge to empirically testing theories of discrimination has been the difficulty
of identifying taste-based discrimination and of distinguishing it clearly from statistical
discrimination. This paper addresses this problem through a two-part empirical test of ...
Patent laws are designed to encourage inventive activity and to facilitate the adoption and
diffusion of innovations. Using data on innovations at 19th-century world fairs, Moser (2005)
finds that patent laws may fail to raise levels of innovation if inventors rely on alternative ...

The Plant Patent Act of 1930 was the first step towards creating property rights for biological

Abstract This article takes advantage of an exogenous shift towards patenting in chemicals
to test whether patents contribute to the geographic diffusion of innovations. Data on US

Abstract Ls, which allow a group of firms to combine their patents as if they were a single

Abstract: Patent pools, which allow competing firms to combine their patents as if they are a
