      abstract = {Both law and economics and intellectual property law have  expanded dramatically in tandem over recent decades. This  field-defining two-volume Handbook, featuring the leading  legal, empirical, and law and economics scholars studying  intellectual property rights, provides wide-ranging and  in-depth analysis both of the economic theory underpinning  intellectual property law, and the use of analytical  methods to study it.  Volume 1 explores the role that  economic incentives play in promoting innovation and  creativity. It also examines the analogy between  intellectual property and tangible property, the economics  of intellectual property institutions, and the interplay of  intellectual property, development, and international  trade.  Volume 2 explores analytical methods used to study  intellectual property law. The chapters survey data  sources, the use of patent citation data, patent valuation,  empirical studies of intellectual property modalities  (patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets) and  institutions, the impacts of technological change on  technology and content industries, the use of experimental  methods, economic history research, political economy, and  knowledge commons research.},
