This dissertation analyzes the economic impact of strengthened intellectual property rights (IPRs) and inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing economies. I study how IPRs reform stimulates FDI inflows, analyze issues related to the enforcement of IPRs, and examine externalities associated with FDI inflows. I derive policy implications that can facilitate the efficient provision of IPRs, and spur economic growth in developing economies.

520 $a This dissertation analyzes the economic impact of strengthened intellectual property rights (IPRs) and inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing economies. I study how IPRs reform stimulates FDI inflows, analyze issues related to the enforcement of IPRs, and examine externalities associated with FDI inflows. I derive policy implications that can facilitate the efficient provision of IPRs, and spur economic growth in developing economies.
520 $a The first chapter, "Foreign Direct Investment and Collective Intellectual Property Protection in Developing Countries," documents a novel source of spillovers associated with IPRs in developing countries, and examines how these spillovers influence the desirability of IPRs reform. I extend existing theory to accommodate these spillover effects, and illustrate that they create an individual incentive to maintain weak IPRs. However, multilateral agreements can prevent this free-riding behavior, and allow developing countries to achieve mutual benefit through collective policy reform.
520 $a The second chapter, "Complementarity in Public and Private Intellectual Property Enforcement; Implications for Product Quality," examines the relationship between publicly provided enforcement of IPRs, and an authentic producer's strategies to influence entry of non-deceptive counterfeit products. I highlight equilibrium inefficiency that arises through the authentic producer's ability to deter counterfeit entry through a combination of high private enforcement and a reduction in quality. I show that minimum quality standards can be implemented to prevent these quality reductions and limit inefficiency.
520 $a In the final chapter, "Establishment Productivity Convergence and the Effect of Foreign Ownership at the Frontier," I estimate establishment level total factor productivity convergence using panel data from India's manufacturing sector from 2001--2015. While I find statistically and quantitatively significant overall conditional convergence to the within industry frontier, I show that the speed of convergence differs based on the ownership composition of the frontier. I argue that this finding suggests differences in the nature of technology transfer from highly productive domestic and foreign firms.
