| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study shows that institutional distance in terms of patent law has an inverted U-shaped relationship with bilateral trade. As the difference in the level of patent protection increases, import share tends to decrease for patent-sensitive products. The present study argues that patent law harmonization between exporters and importers is a crucial factor to increase bilateral trade for patent-sensitive products, such as pharmaceuticals, medical chemicals, and medical equipment.
In addition, the empirical results from Japanese firm-level data show that exporting firms engaged in R&D activities are more productive than non-exporters and exporters with no R&D, regardless of whether internal or external R&D strategy is adopted; further, exporters that employ both the R&D strategies are the most productive. The results suggest that the external R&D strategy is complementary to the in-house R&D strategy and is crucial for promoting the innovations of internationalized firms.
