The More Invention Patents, the Better?——Theoretical Discussion and Micro Evidence from thePerspective of New Structural Economics

Abstract

Abstract: The new structural economics points out that technology selection needs to be matched with the factor endowment structure and thedevelopment stage.Based on this theoretical description,this paperuses invention patents and utility model patents to characterize different technology choices of enterprises and applies the Chinese industrial enterprise and patent micro-matching database to provide micro evidence on the differential growth effect of different patent categories.The study finds that at the initial stage of development(low R&D investment phase),utility model patents have a significant positive effect on the growth of corporate sales revenue,and the significant promotion effect of invention patents is only significantly positive during the development mature period(high R&D investment phase).In terms of trends,the growth effect of utility model patents decreases with the improvement of economic development level,while the growth effect of invention patents increases.

Key words: New Structural Economics, Invention Patent, Utility Patent, Growth

摘要： 新结构经济学认为技术选择应与要素禀赋结构(发展阶段)相匹配。本文以发明专利和实用新型专利来表征企业的不同技术选择,运用1998~2007年中国工业企业与专利匹配数据库进行实证分析,尝试为该理论提供微观证据。研究结果发现,在发展初期(低研发投入阶段),实用新型专利对企业销售收入的增长具有显著的正向效应,而发明专利的促进效应要在发展成熟期(高研发投入阶段)才得以显现;实用新型专利增长效应随着经济发展水平的提高而降低,而发明专利的增长效应却在提高。
