Cover Intellectual Property Rights and the Financing of Technological Innovation
Intellectual Property Rights and the Financing of Technological Innovation
Public Policy and the Efficiency of Capital Markets
Carl Benedikt Frey
Following the transition of industrial nations to knowledge economies, the financing of technological innovation has become a central issue in public policy, corporate finance and business management. This detailed book examines the role of intellectual property rights in facilitating the financing of technological innovation as well as the role of policy makers, investors and managers in this process. The book’s central finding is that public policy plays a key role in promoting the corporate disclosure of intellectual property-related information to enhance the efficiency of capital markets. This not only reduces the costs of capital for technology-driven firms but ultimately spurs innovation and economic growth.
