摘 要: 本文在Acemoglu et al.(2010)的基础上建立了一个动态一般均衡模型,其中产品周期分为创新和标准化两个阶段——刚创新出来的产品只能由高技能劳动力生产,而将其标准化之后就可以由工资较低的低技能劳动力生产。尽管标准化之后生产成本更低,但也更易为竞争对手模仿。知识产权保护可以缓解企业在创新和标准化决策之间的困境。本文模型对内生增长理论和国际贸易理论提供了更新的研究方法,并得到结论:一、本文模型丰富了内生增长理论;二、本文从新的角度解释了为什么南方国家的知识产权保护要弱于北方国家;三、知识产权保护越弱越会伤害低技能工人的利益,加剧工资不平等。 We establish a dynamic general equilibrium model where the product cycle takes two steps, innovation and then standardization, which are introduction of newly innovated goods produced only by skilled workers, and a costly process that enables the new goods can be produced also by unskilled workers. Since the standardized products can be easier to be imitated by other rivals, firms have to face the trade - off between innovation and standardization. So intellectual property right protection is suggested to alleviate the dilemma. Our analysis contributes to present research a number of new methods and novel results. First, the innovation -standardization model contributes to the endogenous growth theory a new approach. Second, we illustrate novel reasons why intellectual property right protection is weaker in south countries. Finally, we show that weaker intellectual property protection harms the low skilled workers.
