Abstract:

In this paper, we try to search the effect of patents on the relationship between domestic investment and economic growth. Data for Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries over the period 1998 – 2022 are applied for panel data analysis. Empirical analysis validates that domestic investment impact positively on economic growth. However, patents don’t have any incidence on economic growth. Also, the outcome of domestic investment on economic growth attests to be not influenced by patent.
