The European Software Piracy: An Empirical Application∗
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides empirical evidence on the link between piracy and software protection, taking piracy determinants in cross–country regressions as basic reference. For that purpose, we use a panel data set for 24 countries over three years, 1994, 1997 and 2000, relating piracy rates to an index of software protection, per capita income and a set of country fixed effects. Results display that software piracy is sensitive to income and software protection changes.
