In this paper we study the economic implications of IPR protection on cor- porate intelligence, R&D investment and economic growth. To accomplish this objective, we present a dynamic, scale-invariant Schumpeterian model of growth with information gathering and analyze the steady-state effects of introducing stronger protection for …firms' con…dential information. In doing so, we introduce the trade secret into a standard quality-ladder growth model and study the long-run implications of improving the privacy of …firms' data. We …nd that reducing the set of practices of information gathering is more effective in protecting …firms privacy than strengthening trade secret.
