Abstract

In this study, we analysed the factors that influence the patent production of the countries. The present study examined the effect of social and economic factors, including income, education, and political indicators, on the number of patent production in selected OECD countries over the period 2006 – 2020 by using fixed effects and random effects models. The empirical results indicate a positive relationship between gross domestic product per capita and the patent production. Concerning political factors, there is evidence of a correlation between the level of human development, civil liberties, press freedom, and patent production. The empirical results of the study indicate the importance of the institutional infrastructure of countries with respect to their impact on welfare.
