Section 337 and the protection of intellectual property in the United States: the complainants and the impact
Article Abstract:
A study examines the profiles of business enterprises that file complaints under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and presents an evaluation of the impact of the outcomes on the companies. A complaining firm is found to be typically bigger and capable of producing more diversified product lines. In addition, the complaining firm is found to be no less profitable and to have made more intangible investments. A non-violation decision has a significantly depressing effect on the filing company's profits compared to those of contemporary firms. Section 337 is perceived to protect innovators, but its effectiveness in promoting more innovation cannot be clearly shown.

Sources of competitiveness of the United States and of its multinational firms
Article Abstract:
Competitiveness in US companies are compared with those for multinationals in industries with varying R&D levels. R&D intensity and human capital intensity are shown to be vital factors in the competitiveness of US-based industries but even more in multinationals. However, high human capital intensity in multinationals lead to negative growth in their market shares.
