• Does the Presence or Lack of Intellectual Property Right Protection Affect International Trade Flows in Emerging Market Economies? An Exploratory Study

This study provides new evidence regarding the effects of patent protection on international trade in developing countries also known as "emerging market economies ". It employs a gravity model of bilateral trade flows and estimates the effects of increased protection on a cross-section of 69x68 countries. It improves on previous studies in two respects. First, we estimate the gravity model for two different kinds of aggregates: total non-fuel trade and high technology trade. Second, it addresses the problem of zero trade flows between countries by adopting a bivariate distributed probit regression model. Third, to measure the strength of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) regimes, we make use of a fine tuned index on national IPRs systems developed by Park and Ginarte (1996). Our resu...

• The International Protection of Cultural Property: Some Skeptical Observations

Origin states complain that their cultural heritage is being stolen, and archeologists worry that the goods are being removed without attention to their archeological context; they are inadequately stored, recorded, and protected, and ultimately lost to scholarship.1 Second, many antiquities that were not, stricdy speaking, stolen or removed in violation of domestic law are of such great cultural value that origin states are demanding their return despite the absence of problems with title.
