“…First, so long as exporting countries are more likely to file complaints when they are discriminated against more by the importing countries, Lemma 2 is consistent with the timing of certain trade disputes over product standards as discussed in footnote 2 (e.g., Chinese honey exports to the European Union [EU]). Second, Lemma 2 relates to Horn (2006) and Geng and Saggi (2022) who study NT in government taxation and IP protection respectively. They show that tariff reductions can lead countries to choose more discriminatory corporate taxes or IP protection.…”

“…Horn (2006) analyzes NT in corporate taxation and shows that it can be useful for blunting the protectionist use of taxation induced by tariff reductions. Geng and Saggi (2015, 2022) examine NT in intellectual property (IP) protection and demonstrate how its welfare grounds may hinge on the levels of tariff barriers. Our paper complements this literature by focusing on product standards as an increasingly more important form of NTMs.…”

This paper develops an oligopolistic model with consumption externalities to study (i) the policy interaction between tariffs and product standards; (ii) how such interaction may affect the welfare justification of national treatment (NT) in product standards. Absent NT, tariff reductions can lead to more discriminatory standards against foreign firms. Imposing NT eliminates discrimination but can induce higher tariffs which tend to undermine efficiency. As a result, the welfare justification of NT is stronger when tariffs are constrained. These findings suggest that the World Trade Organization's success in tariff liberalization can strengthen the case for its NT‐based approach to product standards.

In this paper, we introduce quality differences in vertical market and compare the managerial delegation contracts of downstream firms. We find that the owner of a downstream firm that produces low‐quality products induces the manager to behave more aggressively when the marginal cost coefficient is low. While when marginal cost coefficient is high, the owner of a downstream firm that produces high‐quality products induces the manager to behave more aggressively. It is further found that managerial delegation can improve the profits of downstream firms but reduce the consumer surplus and social welfare.

“…Research on the evaluation of IP capabilities is relatively well-developed and has been conducted for different research objects, such as enterprises, universities, industries, and regions [8]. The literature [9] proposed that IP capability can be considered a basic capability element to establish and maintain a competitive position and market share in the international market and that a strong IP capability must be established to become a leading world-class enterprise with independent intellectual property rights.…”

This paper first defines the conceptual scope of intellectual property, and the intellectual property evaluation system analyzes the special characteristics of enterprise intellectual property evaluation and compares the differences between several intellectual property management models. Secondly, an open adaptive enterprise IPR evaluation system is constructed based on a linear regression model, and the system structure and the relationship between subsystems are analyzed in depth. Finally, based on the theory of adaptive evaluation management, the adaptive IPR evaluation system is constructed. The adaptive enterprise IPR evaluation model based on linear regression was constructed mainly from three dimensions, and the method to determine the development coordination index and early warning degree of the three dimensions was deduced. The results show that the average efficiency of the typical enterprise IPR evaluation system calculated based on the linear regression model is 0.86, which is 21.3% more efficient than the traditional model. Four of the decision units’ DEA is effective, 63% of the inputs are effective, and 37% of the input resources are wasted, which aligns with the actual enterprise. The adaptive IPR evaluation system based on the linear regression model proposed in this paper has theoretical innovation value and practical significance for enterprises to realize the transformation of IPR achievements.
