The Impacts of IPR Protection for Firms\' Location Choices: Theory and Evidence
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
Since Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights had been put on the agenda of the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations under the GATT, many scholars studied how intellectual property rights (IPRs) affect the foreign direct investment(FDI).
Description
After then, IPRs have been become the one of important international trade polices for developed countries, especially for the U.S. An important policy for Taiwan to face the grand change of 21th century is to set the Asia-Pacific Regional Operations Center on Taiwan.
Hence, it is clearly worth to explore how the protection levels of IPRs will influence multinational enterprises\' FDI decision making. According to the FDI theory, multinational enterprises\' FDI decision making not only considers their own specific advantage, but also concerns the target country\'s investment environment, including the environment of political policies, law, economies, culture, and IPRs. On the other hand, when making foreign direct investment decision, firms generally can obtain complete information about the foreign investment environment.

Hence, this project tries to set a dynamic model to explore how the protection levels of IPRs affect the multinational enterprises\' FDI decision making, given that firms have the incomplete information about the foreign investment environment. This research applied Gittins-index approach to study how the protection levels of IPRs will influence the location choice of the multinational enterprises\' FDI decision making, given that firms have the incomplete information (including the return of investment and the real protection levels of IPRs) about the foreign markets.
We show: (1) the higher the expected return of investment and/or theexpected protection levels of IPRs, the more the country attracts foreign investment; (2) more variability in the return of investment and/or the protection level of IPRs increase the attraction of a country.
