Capital intangível e direitos de propriedade intelectual: uma análise institucionalista

Abstract

Intangible capital and intellectual property rights: an analysis in terms of insti- tutions. This paper deals with the main evolutions that explain the emergence of new institutional arrangements that characterize the post-fordism. (i) Hence, I will show that the property rights modifications bring forth new forms of competition; (ii) Also, I will make explicit the concrete expressions of this new competition, as well as how it translates itself in a sub-optimum allocation in the framework of the market game; (iii) I will study the modifications of externalities nature produced by technical progress; (iv) Finally, I will analyze the macroeconomic implica- tions in regard to growth mechanisms and to capital nature.
