Knowledge and Information Economy, Welfare and governance: the economic nature of Intellectual Property Rights

Abstract

This paper will study the different conceptions about economic nature of (Intelectual) Property Rights, and the implications in regard to Welfare. This analysis may be applied in various fields concerned with intangible components: ecology, cultural goods, knowledge and information production, internet economics, for example. In regard to the complexity of these types of intangible capital, I will show the limits of the private negotiation inspired in Coase´s approach, and underline the opposition between this approach and the Williamson´s one.
