国际生产分割条件下,如果跨国公司将较高比例的复杂生产任务置于东道国完成,则当地的模仿者能够获得较多的生产信息,模仿难度较低,跨国公司会受到更多来自模仿者的威胁。东道国知识产权保护的加强能够阻止模仿者进入,提高一般价格水平,促使跨国公司将更大比例的复杂生产任务置于东道国,从而降低东道国出口中所包含的进口中间品含量,提升东道国的全球价值链分工地位。
Given continuously fragmentable production, local imitator can get more information of production and undertake lower imitating cost if multinationals put more complex tasks into host country. So multinationals will put less complex tasks into host country with poor IPR protection. Strengthening of IPR in host country can deter imitators, raise the share of complex tasks putting into host country, lower imPorted contents of exports of host country, and then promote host country's status in global value chain.
