Does Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights Matter in China? Evidence from Financing and Investment Choices in the High-Tech Industry (2014, unknown): “…property rights depends both on the existence of intellectual property protection laws and the enforcement of the laws.1 Although much has been written about the IP rules and laws (e.g., Gould and Gruben, 1996; Moser, 2005), there is little empirical evidence of the importance of enforcement.”

A Primer for Applying Propensity-Score Matching (2010, unknown): “…Trujillo, Portillo and Vernon (2005) analyze the impact of health insurance on medical-care participation; Almus and Czarnitzki (2003) and Moser (2005) evaluate the impact of research and development subsidies and patent laws on innovation; Lavy (2002) estimates the effect of teachers’…”

Does Innovation Cause Stock Market Runups? Evidence from the Great Crash (2008, unknown): “A comparison of the citations received by 1999 in 12 There are also other limitations of patent data, in particular that many inventions are not patented, and that the protection disclosure trade-off varies across industries (Wesley Cohen, Richard Nelson, and John Walsh 2000; Petra Moser 2005).”
