Description:'We examine the impact of environmental regulation on the international diffusion of new technologythrough the patent system. We employ a dataset of automobile emission standards between 1992 and2007 and corresponding data on cross-border patent inflows of technologies developed to comply withthese standards. Our analysis, based on a research design of country pair years, shows it is “regulatory distance”between countries rather than absolute regulatory stringency per se that matters for cross-borderpatent inflows: the flow of compliance technologies rises when regulatory standards in the inventor andthe recipient countries become “closer”' .
