The influence of patent protection on firm innovation investment in manufacturing industries (2007, background): “Using aggregate cross-country data, Varsakelis (2001) and Kanwar and Evenson (2003) have found that patent rights are positively related to national levels of R&D investment.”
A Policy Insight into the R&D-Patent Relationship (2009, unknown): “The results of Varsakelis (2001), which show that the level of patent protection has a positive influence on R&D investments across countries, support the idea that the legal environment may affect the patenting behaviour as well.”
Intellectual property rights and the governance of international R&D partnerships (2005, background): “are, the more they have established a legal system that enforces contract law, and the stronger is their intellectual property rights protection (Marron and Steel, 2000; Varsakelis, 2001).”

Classical and Technological Convergence: beyond the Solow-Swan growth model (2002, background): “In turn, differences in R&D investment rates may be related to cross-country differences in market structures, tax rates or subsidy policies, property rights and other institutional factors (Varsakelis, 2001).”
Patent rights and innovative activity: evidence from national and firm-level data (2007, background): “Varsakelis (2001) provides a cross-country analysis of patent strength and R&D, and Kanwar and Evenson (2003) provide panel data analysis of the same.”

Appropriate intellectual property protection and economic growth in countries at different levels of development (2012, background): “Hence, more recent studies examine the relationship between patent protection and a determinant of growth, like innovation or R&D (see Varsakelis, 2001; Kanwar and Evenson, 2003).”
Do Stronger Intellectual Property Rights Increase Innovation (2015, background): “This is a particular challenge for cross-country studies where important changes in a country’s innovative activity may not be captured by patent applications or awards (Varsakelis, 2001).”

(2006, background): “A number of recent empirical studies have estimated the effect of various economic variables on R&D expenditures to R&D intensity using cross-country panel data (see Guellec and van Pottelsberghe, 2003; Lederman and Maloney, 2003; Varsakelis 2001; Bebczuk, 2002; Kanwar and Evenson, 2003).”
