Yet, looking back at the past 40 years, it is also the case that a number of East Asian economies were able to achieve remarkable industrial development, and today host companies that compete at the world’s technology frontier. A natural question to ask is what role public policies played in spurring successful industrialization. This question seems especially pertinent in relation to technology, given the many market failures associated with knowledge acquisition and knowledge diffusion. A large number of theories have emerged and empirical investigations carried out in search for an answer. In this chapter, we scrutinize the resulting economic literature to provide a perspective on the role of intellectual property in the industrial development process. We do so in the following way. We first contrast the industrial development experience of East Asia to that of Latin America and summarize the explanations economists have offered to account for them (Sect. 2). We then turn to intellectual property and explore the evolution of both IP policies and IP use in the two regions (Sect. 3), before reviewing and critically assessing the empirical literature that has attempted to establish causality between intellectual property and industrial development (Sect. 4). Against this background, we ponder on how policymakers should approach the development of their IP framework as part of broader industrial policy objectives (Sect. 5). 000048725 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000048725 650_0 $$aIndustrialization. 000048725 650_0 $$aPublic policy. 000048725 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000048725 7001_ $$aFink, Carsten,$$eauthor. 000048725 7001_ $$aRaffo, Julio,$$eauthor. 000048725 7102_ $$aSpringer Publishing 000048725 77308 $$iIntellectual Property and Development: Understanding the Interfaces$$aEdited by Carlos Correa and Xavier Seuba$$dSpringer$$z9789811328565 000048725 85640 $$uhttps://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-13-2856-5_7$$zView this Chapter 000048725 904__ $$aBook 000048725 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000048725 980__ $$aBIB
