国际贸易是技术转移与溢出的主要渠道之一,对于创新能力亟待提高而贸易规模已跃居世界首位的中国尤其值得重视。制药产业与知识产权存在紧密联系,但南北国家对该行业知识产权制度的实施仍存在较大争议。以贸易的技术溢出为切入点,通过岭回归分析,探索知识产权制度对中国制药产业技术进步的影响。研究发现,知识产权制度体系的建设与完善有利于中国制药产业实现技术进步。未来,中国应实施适宜的保护强度以加速提升本土企业创新能力,促进经济增长。
International trade is one of the main channels of technology transfer and spillover. As a country whose trade scale has leaped to the first place in the world but its innovation ability needs to be improved urgently, China should pay particular attention to it. The pharmaceutical industry is closely linked with intellectual property rights, but there exist lots of disputes on the implementation of the industry's intellectual property system between the North and South countries. Taking the technology spillover of trade as the starting point, through the ridge regression analysis, this paper explores the impact of the intellectual property system on the technological progress of China's pharmaceutical industry. The results show that the construction and improvement of the system of intellectual property rights is conducive to the achievement of technological progress of China's pharmaceutical industry. In the future, China should carry out appropriate protection to enhance the innovation ability of local enterprises, so as to promote economic growth.
