“…They find that market-expansion effects are more prevalent 'in knowledge-intensive sectors (i.e., chemicals, electronics, instruments, and machinery) where the manufacturing process usually involves significant investment in research and development.' 22 The same results hold for non-OECD countries, but the authors find that, unlike for OECD countries, IPR protection is more important for lower-technology products, e.g., textiles. They explain: 'This finding is not too surprising because developing countries often have comparative advantage in the production and exports of products that are less capital and knowledge-intensive relative to OECD countries.'…”

“…They explain: 'This finding is not too surprising because developing countries often have comparative advantage in the production and exports of products that are less capital and knowledge-intensive relative to OECD countries.' 23 These results shed light on the impact that IPRs have on developing countries, not just in the North-South direction.…”

“…In another paper, Awokuse and Yin add to a small but growing literature examining the effects of IPR protection from a developingcountry perspective, namely, China. 20 As in the previous paper, the authors use the number of patents filed by foreign residents and the GP index to test the results of strengthened IPR laws. They outline the two 'opposing effects' that strengthened IPR laws could have on an importing country, after Maskus and Penubarti's 1995 study: market-expansion or market-power effects.…”

“…While all these problems are undeniable, IP protection in China has recently improved at a faster pace than ever, as evidenced by the surge in the number of China's patents (Hu and Jefferson 2009), the growth of foreign direct investment (Awokuse and Yin 2010b) and imports of technology-intensive products (Awokuse and Yin 2010a). Also, URE has declined recently, and has been replaced by other forms of university-industry links, such as collaborative research between universities and firms, education and training, information exchange between universities and firms, academic research, transferring proprietary technology (patent licensing), university science parks and spin-off companies (Eun 2009).…”

Implementing the Triple Helix model in a non-Western context: an institutional logics perspective

Triple Helix

While there is a common belief among policymakers and academics around the world that Triple Helix relationships between university, industry and government provide optimal conditions for innovation, it should be noted that the Triple Helix concept has been developed from the experience of advanced economies in the West. There is a lack of theoretical considerations and empirical evidence on whether the Triple Helix model is applicable in non-Western contexts. Following the understanding that the evolution of an ideal Triple Helix model is facilitated by certain institutional logics in Western societies, this paper takes China as an example to examine how the institutional logics in China are different from those of the West and how the institutional logics in China would promote or impede the development of the Triple Helix model in China in light of an extensive review of the relevant literature and policy documents. The study suggests that to optimise the Chinese innovation policies, China needs on the one hand to adjust some elements of its institutional environment to facilitate the interactions between key innovation actors and on the other hand to be innovative in developing its own Triple Helix modes given the unique Chinese institutional environment which will persist in the foreseeable future.
