Partha Dasgupta

Partha Dasgupta

Profesor Sir Partha Dasgupta (rođen 17. novembra 1942.) je ekonomista na Cambridge univerzitetu u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Zajedno s J. Stiglitz-em uveo neizvjesnost u ekonomsko poimanje R&D i tehnološkog razvoja. Ukazao na negativne aspekte patentne zaštite poput patentne utrke. Više firmi se utrkuje oko realizacije istog R&D projekta. Prva koja uspije ostvariti R&D projekt dobija patentnu zaštitu, dok drugima ne ostaje ništa. Na taj način dolazi do prekomjernog investiranja u R&D projekte i do neracionalne alokacije faktora.
