      abstract = {Policy makers around the world recognize the potentially  harmful consequences of trademark counterfeiting and  copyright piracy. Indeed, many countries have recently  initiated policy reforms to strengthen the enforcement of  intellectual property rights (IPR). Further, minimum  standards of enforcement have been incorporated in many  international treaties, especially trade agreements. This  emphasis on enforcement raises basic questions about the  actual impacts of IP rights infringement, which differ  across the types of IPR and economic sectors. We review the  academic literature and other studies in the public domain  to evaluate what has been learned about these socioeconomic  effects, with an emphasis on developing countries where  possible. We also identify important gaps in our  understanding of the consequences of counterfeiting and  piracy and develop recommendations on how governments might  collect data and conduct studies to better inform IPR  enforcement policy.},
