Asymmetry of knowledge spillovers between MNCs and host country firms (2007, background): “( Lerner, 2002 ) to standardize the measure of innovation.”
Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights (2006, neutral): “…often argued that developing countries provide weaker IPRs because they have few innovations to protect and want to benefit from foreign technology via imitation, whereas developed countries provide stronger protection because they have something to protect (Ginarte and Park, 1997; Lerner, 2002).”
