An Economic Analysis of the Droit de Suite

The droit de suite, or resale royalty right, entitles an artist to a percentage of either the price received when her works are resold by their owners. This paper analyzes the effect of this law on the artist's production when early and late works are either substitutes or complements. By giving the artist an interest in the resale price of early works, the royalty provides a credible incentive to maintain value when later production decisions are made. Since the initial sales price capitalizes the stream of future values, the benefit of higher resale prices accrues to the artist.     

作业成本法在特许权使用费海关估价中的运用

由于WTO的<估价协定>及我国海关<审价办法>均只对应计入完税价格的特许权使用费的条件及涉及部分进口货物的特许权使用费的分解方法作原则性的规定,为了在实践中寻找一种对特许权使用费进行确认与计量的方法,以保证依法估价,引进作业成本法,提出海关对特许权使用费估价的新思路和方法.

装备采购中的成本节约型知识产权定价 ——一种基于三方共赢理念的使用费确定方法

大型武器装备的复杂性和技术密集性,使得装备承制企业难以依靠自身力量解决全部技术问题,在研制、生产等装备采购阶段中积极吸收并转化应用外部优质技术成果,实现军工领域内乃至军民领域间的技术融合,是提高武器装备采购效率的必由之路。针对单一来源采购中军工企业使用非本单位所有的知识产权时缺少合理定价方法现状,提出基于军方、军工企业和知识产权人三方共赢思想,针对成本节约型技术的知识产权使用费定价方法;案例分析结果表明,该方法具有参数明确、可操作性强的特点,且有利于实现三方共赢。     

奥运伙伴计划在新形势下面临挑战的研究

摘要：为致力于成为未来奥运顶级赞助商的中国企业提供建设性的思考。主要采用文献资料法、专家访谈法及工作经历对奥运伙伴计划在发展过程中存在的问题进行分析,并运用经济学、市场营销学、财务管理的理论知识对奥运经济进行深入研究,以丰富和补充国内对奥运经济领域研究的不足。研究认为：当下奥运伙伴计划面临4个主要的问题：赛事赞助投资回报率直接对奥运伙伴计划产生影响。高额的赞助版权费以及长期投资收益的不确定性,影响赞助商的投资意愿。电视收视率的下降也必然会影响企业在媒体的曝光度,另外,社交媒体被大众的广泛接受这也为赞助商提供了更多的营销活动平台。国际奥委会的规则条款限制了部分顶级赞助商商业利益的最大化。     

Royalties for Artists versus Royalties for Authors and Composers

Legislation creating or reinforcing resale royalties for visual artists retains substantial political popularity – particularly in the European Union – despite the often skeptical attitude toward those rights in the economics literature. In this essay, we probe more deeply the affirmative arguments that can be made for a resale royalty right, in either a mandatory or a discretionary form. We also compare the rationale for visual artists' resale royalties with the potential rationales for the now-well-established systems of royalty rights for authors and composers. This comparison has particular interest both because some of the principal arguments made against visual artists' resale royalties also apply to authors' royalties, and because the economic rationale for compensating authors with royalties has itself not been well explored. We also discuss briefly the related subject of display rights for visual artists. We conclude with some general implications for policy.

Developing a Web API for Interlibrary Loan Copyright Payments

Wayne State University Libraries (WSUL) pays copyright royalties for Interlibrary Loan (ILL) copy requests that exceed National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (CONTU) guidelines. Prior to 2011, submitting requests to the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) required harvesting the necessary data from ILLiad and Innovative Interfaces’ Interlibrary Loan systems, validating the requests, and submitting a combined spreadsheet to CCC. A 2010 announcement from CCC indicated that they will no longer accept spreadsheets for invoicing. The alternative method of submitting requests involves using their web submission interface—which is time consuming and places a heavy burden on staff resources. In response, WSUL developed a .Net web-based application that automatically harvests, validates, and submits requests to CCC using their private application programming interface (API). The system interfaces with multiple ILL systems and submits payment lists automatically, removing the need to manually enter copyright orders. Initial estimates suggest a yearly reduction of over 500 hours in staff time when compared to the web submission method.     

标准必要专利许可费困境及其形成机制研究

由于标准必要专利的"公平、合理和无歧视"原则是一项松散承诺,使得专利权人和标准实施者难以通过谈判就许可费达成一致,标准必要专利许可费困境业已成为学术界和企业界共同关注的课题。文章结合既有文献和司法判例,立足标准必要专利的共享性和私权性双重属性,厘清标准必要专利许可费困境的形成原因,分析标准必要专利许可费形成机制,进而总结标准必要专利许可费影响因素。这不仅有利于丰富标准必要专利许可费问题的理论研究,而且能为标准必要专利许可实践提供有益启示。     

Oil royalties and the provision of public education in Brazil

This paper examines how resource-based windfalls to Brazilian municipalities’ revenues affects their provision of education. Using within-municipality variation in per capita oil revenues transferred to municipalities, we find that receiving more oil royalties increases municipal education expenditures, which translates into more teachers, classrooms, and schools per capita. These effects are present only for municipally funded schools, implying that increased educational provision is due to better funding and not through increased demand for schooling. We also find, however, that some evidence that some types of school infrastructure and services may be affected by oil royalties, implying that this additional schooling coverage may be of lower quality. Interestingly, despite the increased provision of education student outcomes like the dropout rate worsen with higher oil royalties, although this may be due to changes in student composition.
