What Drives the International Transfer of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies? Empirical Evidence from Patent Data (2012, positive): “There is no doubt that the use of both channels positively depends on the strength of IP law in the recipient country, but not with the same intensity (Maskus, 2000; Smith, 2001; Evus, 2010).”
Invention and Transfer of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies on a Global Scale: A Study Drawing on Patent Data (2010, neutral): “Data on royalty payments have been mostly used to analyze the impact of stricter patent protection on technology transfer (Smith, 2001; Yang and Maskus, 2001; Branstetter et al., 2006).”
Invention and Transfer of Climate Change–Mitigation Technologies: A Global Analysis (2011, methodology): “Data on royalty payments have been used mostly to analyze the impact of stricter patent protection on technology transfer (Smith 2001; Yang and Maskus 2001; Branstetter, Fisman, and Foley 2006).”
Environmental Regulation and the Cross-Border Diffusion of New Technology: Evidence from Automobile Patents (2015, neutral): “This literature has dentified three channels through which new technology flows and here patent protection is frequently used: trade in goods, foreign irect investment and licensing (Smith, 2001; Eaton and Kortum, 002; Branstetter et al., 2006).”

Intellectual Property Rights, Technology Transfer and Exports in Developing Countries (2009, background): “…Classification: F14 L13 O1 O34 Keywords: Intellectual property rights Technology transfer Exports We develop a model to analyze one mechanism under which stronger intellectual property rights (IPR) protection may improve the ability of firms in developing countries to break into export markets.”
The influence of patent protection on firm innovation investment in manufacturing industries (2007, background): “Smith (2001) found that patent rights affect the structure of exporting and technology transfer (i.e. sales and licensing of U.S. affiliates).”
The role of patent protection in (clean/green) technology transfer (2010, neutral): “ Smith (2001) uses a sample of U.S. firms to analyze how the strength of patent regimes abroad influence the way in which these firms service foreign markets.”
