  • The Impact of Secondary Innovation on Firm Market Value in the Pharmaceutical Industry
    The Impact of Secondary Innovation on Firm Market Value in the Pharmaceutical Industry By: Maitri Punjabi Honors Thesis Economics Department The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill March 2016 Approved: ______________________________ Dr. Jonathan Williams Punjabi 2 Abstract This paper analyzes the effect of the changing nature of innovation on pharmaceutical firm market value from the years 1987 to 2010 by using U.S. patent and claim data. Over the years, firms have started shifting focus from primary innovation to secondary innovation as new ideas and new compounds become more difficult to generate. In this study, we analyze the impact of this patent portfolio shift on the market capitalization of pharmaceutical firms. After using firm fixed effects and the instrumental variable approach, we find that there exists a strong positive relationship between secondary innovations and the market value of the firm– in fact, we find a stronger relationship than is observed between primary innovation and market value. When focusing on the different levels of innovation within the industry, we find that this relationship is stronger for less-innovative firms (those that have produced fewer patents) than it is for highly- innovative firms. We also find that this relationship is stronger for firms that spend less on research and development, complementing earlier findings that research productivity is declining over time. Punjabi 3 Acknowledgements I would primarily like to thank my adviser, Dr. Jonathan Williams, for his patience and constant support. Without his kind and helpful attitude, this project would have been a much more frustrating process. Through his knowledge of the industry, I have gained valuable insight and have learned a great deal about a unique and growing field.
