| Abstract: | This paper studies the impact that the exercise of Section 301 of the US Trade Act 1974 has had on the phenomenon of global software piracy. The US authorities use these legal provisions to pressurize countries that they consider to be providing inadequate protection to US intellectual property, and which arguably hurts US producers, investors, and innovators. Opting for a panel vector autoregression framework which allows us to treat software piracy, section 301 pressure, and intellectual property protection as endogenous, we study the piracy-section 301 pressure nexus without predicating our analysis on untenable exclusion restrictions. Using data for the period 1994-2017, we find that piracy rates do not exhibit a statistically significant response to section 301 pressure for the sample countries as a whole. The orthogonalized impulse response function adds useful detail to this insignificant response, revealing that the initial perturbation in piracy rates due to a change in section 301 status of a country quickly damps out, and returns to even keel by the third period. The forecast error variance decomposition shows that the share of the change in section 301 pressure is negligible in the total change in piracy rates, although this magnitude needs to be taken with caution, given that the variance decomposition ignores the contribution of the exogenous variables. Although US 301 pressure is not influential for the sample countries as a whole, the intellectual property protection variable appears to be strongly significant in curbing piracy. Finally, we find that the influence of Section 301 pressure on piracy is significantly stronger for countries with a US trade share exceeding the upper quartile of the distribution of US trade shares for the sample countries.

| Abstract: | In the dynamic environment of new venture teams (NVTs), where new information and diverse perspectives necessitate ongoing adaptation, intellectual humility assumes a central role. Intellectual humility is marked by openness to alternative viewpoints, recognition of the fallibility of personal beliefs and opinions, and the capacity to engage in fair and constructive negotiation. We investigate the role of intellectual humility in NVTs’ dynamics in terms of its influence on interpersonal conflict and information elaboration and how influence is distributed on the team. Our findings reveal that intellectual humility has a positive effect on the equal distribution of influence, reduces interpersonal conflict, and enhances information elaboration in NVTs. These findings expand our understanding of NVTs’ dynamics and provide valuable insights into the role of intellectual humility in the field of entrepreneurship. (abstract of the paper) |
