Summary: | 碩士 === 健行科技大學 === 國際企業管理研究所 === 102 === This study takes panel data regression as a tool, adopting Globalization Index of KOF and its three dimensions : economic, social and political globalization as proxy variables of degree of national globalization, to investigate the effects of degree of globalization on the innovation performance of developed countries (GDP per capita more than 20,000 U.S. dollars , total sixteen sample countries ) and emerging industrialized countries(GDP per capita less than $ 20,000 , there are sixteen total sample countries ). In addition to KOF index , this study adopting five control variables that derived from World Bank : Revenue (Charges for the use of intellectual property), payments(Charges for the use of intellectual property), receipts (the percentage of High-technology exports on manufactured exports), Research and development expenditure., GDP per capita. As to the national innovation performance indicators, there are three: the number of patents in the world, number of trademark and number of industrial design rights that cited from the World Intellectual Property organization (WIPO).
Empirical results show that (a) the positive effect of globalization index of developed countries is higher than the summation of the effect of economic, social and political globalization. Thus, enhancing all dimensions of globalization of nation is able to enhance innovation performance of nations. (b) Emerging countries should moderately deregulate political globalization in order to enhance national innovation performance. (c) The payment of using intellectual property has significant and negative effect on the number of industrial design rights of emerging countries, suggesting that emerging countries should promoting their own product development capabilities to enhance national innovation performance. (d) Whether in developed or emerging countries, the change in the GDP per capita of control variables both contribute to the national innovation performance improvement. It shows that the GDP per capita of all countries is an important variable affecting innovation performance.
