| Abstract: | The objective of this article is to analyse the relation between the conditions for the optimality of patent policy and the elasticities of the social and private values of innovation. It is also an objective to study the influence of the coexistence of independent innovations and the cumulative nature of innovation in such conditions. Three models have been proposed: the first one textcite{takalo2001} represents a scenario with an isolated innovation, the second one features two independent innovations, and the third model features two linked innovations, one of which is a ``research tool'' for the development and the introduction of the other one. Sufficient conditions for the optimality of patents with maximum breadth or infinite length were presented. |

| Abstract: | We build a stylized model that captures the relationships between cross-border patenting, globalization, and development. Our theory delivers a gravity equation for cross-border patents. To test the model’s predictions, we compile a new dataset that tracks patents within and between countries and industries, for 1980-2019. The econometric analysis reveals a strong, positive impact of policy and globalization on cross-border patent flows, especially from North to South. A counterfactual welfare analysis suggests that the increase in patent flows from North to South has benefited both regions, with South gaining more than North post-2000, thus lowering real income inequality in the world. |
