Abstract:
Pharmaceutical drugs are often hailed as the poster child for the proposition that patents foster accelerated rates of innovation. This sentiment stems, in large part, from the significantly high research and development (R&D) costs endemic to the pharmaceutical sector. I argue that if the role of the patent regime is one of fostering higher amounts of investment in the R&D process, it is better served by a direct investment protection regime, where the protection does not depend upon whether or not the underlying idea behind the drug is 'new' and 'inventive', the two central tenets of patent

The objective of this thesis is to empirically assess how the tax incentives of Law 11,196/05 have affected the landscape of private industrial innovation in Brazil. The main point is to verify to what extent this tax relief has contributed to the fostering of innovation in the country. To achieve this broad objective, three specific research questions were devised as axes of investigation, and they are addressed in each of the stand-alone papers that comprise this thesis. I begin by assessing whether the incentives have impacted the volume of innovation investment of beneficiary firms. This f

The results show that a failure to overturn employees’ belief about the changing market condition could lead to insufficient adaptation.

Abstract:
Drugs for treating rare diseases had been neglected by the pharmaceutical industry for a long time, due to the complex and costly drug R&D process as well as a small unprofitable market. Since its introduction in 1983, the Orphan Drug Act (ODA) has sought to prompt the innovation of drugs for minority diseases by reducing the regulatory and economic barriers. The incentives of the ODA have been effected through market protection, tax credit, fee waiver and grants to increase the accessibility of orphan products for the public. The number of orphan drugs available in the market has risen sharpl

Abstract:
La rémunération des dirigeants est au centre des débats sur la gouvernance d’entreprise. La présente recherche a ouvert deux volets empiriques distincts pour nourrir ce débat. Dans le premier volet d’études empiriques, nous avons examiné la possibilité que les dirigeants profitent de leur pouvoir sur le conseil d’administration pour extraire des rentes économiques sous la forme d’actions gratuites et de stock-options. Puis, nous avons testé l’impact des incitations financières détenues par le dirigeant sur la performance de l’entreprise. Sur la base d’un échantillon de 510 entreprises-années e

Abstract:
This dissertation examines Utah resident views of incentives and disincentives for use of OpenCourseWare (OCW) and how they fit into the theoretical framework of perceived innovation attributes established by Rogers. Rogers identified five categories of perceived innovation attributes, which include relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. A survey instrument was developed using attributes that emerged from a Delphi technique with input from experts in the OCW field. The survey instrument was sent to 753 (n = 753) random individuals between 18 and 64 year

Abstract:
Abstract In many extant analyses of the impact of non-reciprocal system of trade preferences it is typical to focus on the details of market access value of tariff concessions as explanation for why export of beneficiaries’ products may or may not respond to incentives. Very often the role that supply-related factors can and do play in the process is relegated to the background. This paper argues that the social absorption capability of a beneficiary’s economy as expressed in her incumbent National System of Innovation is a crucial determinant of export performance response.

Abstract:
There are a series of state and federal incentives in California to encourage the installation of distributed generation (DG) renewable energy, largely photovoltaic (PV). This thesis explores the policies behind the incentives, namely the Federal Investment Tax Credit, California Solar Initiative, and Net Energy Metering requirements. Discussion is informed by environmental policy tools, as well as business models that have acted to increase accessibility to these investment-intensive projects. Underlying this analysis is the theme of a shifting energy paradigm, with distributed generation spr

Innovation incentives are imperfectly provided in market settings: When deciding on their innovation activity, firms tend to focus on the maximization of their private benefits, poorly internalizing social benefits. This thesis analyzes how policy intervention could be designed in order to align private and social incentives. <p><p>In the three papers of this thesis, I will consider three environments where firms' choices in a laissez-faire situation may be socially inefficient.
