Abstract/Description:

Intellectual property, among other legal instruments, is used to promote economic development. This chapter explores the normative dimensions of economic development such as growth in gross national product, technological change, and social indicators like health, literacy, and well-being. After an analysis of normative issues, the chapter moves to positive analyses on the relationship between the exclusive rights of intellectual property and development. In conclusion, the author explores topics for future research and policy prescription.
