Findings on Economics and Statistics Detailed by Investigators at Federal Reserve Bank (International Technology Licensing, Intellectual Property Rights, and Tax Havens): Economics – Economics and Statistics

2026 FEB 13 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Economics Daily Report -- Current study results on Economics - Economics and Statistics have been published. According to news reporting originating in St. Louis, Missouri, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “This article investigates the determinants of international technology licensing using data for 50 countries during 1996-2012. A multicountry model of innovation yields a dynamic structural gravity equation for royalty payments as a function of fundamentals, including imperfect intellectual property protection and differences in corporate taxation.”

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Federal Reserve Bank, “The gravity equation is estimated with nonlinear methods. My model’s fundamentals account for about 60% of the variation in royalty payments. A quantitative analysis sheds light on the impact of global taxation reforms on international technology licensing and innovation.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “The findings highlight the role of taxation in shaping cross-border technology flows and the consequences of profit-shifting.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
