This paper explores a potential "dark side" of patent trade in reinforcing monopolists’ market power. We analyze how the patent trade boom affects new innovations and industry dynamics. While easier patent trade encourages more patent creation, these new patents disproportionately benefit existing monopolists, who are more likely to acquire them. Using an endogenous growth model with patent trade, we show that subsidizing patent transactions may shift investors' research focus toward monopolists, further entrench their market power, and ultimately reduce social welfare. An optimal subsidy policy should account for the initial misallocation in the invention market.

论文摘要

As globalization intensifies, individuals from diverse cultures increasingly cross boundaries and interact with people from different cultures. Global business often demands cultural accommodation, the practice of adapting one’s behaviors to adhere to the host culture’s norms. Research shows that cultural accommodation enhances positive interactions with locals by boosting trust and perceived effectiveness. However, adapting to a new culture can be challenging, as it may create dissonance when new behaviors clash with one's cultural identity. This talk explores an important yet overlooked factor in cultural dexterity: diversity ideologies or mindsets. I investigate which diversity ideologies alleviate identity concerns, thereby enhancing cultural accommodation. I discuss three diversity ideologies: colorblindness (ignoring cultural differences), multiculturalism (emphasizing cultural distinctions), and polyculturalism (a newer framework that emphasizes interconnections between cultures). I found that polyculturalism fosters accommodation to a new culture by attenuating concerns about identity across field and experimental studies with various samples (exchange students, MBA students, employees). I further explore the downstream effect of polyculturalism on newcomers' performance via cultural accommodation. By illuminating how diversity ideology facilitates cultural accommodation, I discuss one means by which organizations can foster employees’ global success.
