The Lisbon Council publiceerde "The 2015 Intellectual Property and Economic Growth Index: Measuring the Impact of Exceptions and Limitations in Copyright on Growth, Jobs and Prosperity." Het rapport is kritisch over strenge auteurswetgeving, zoals het FD bericht onder de kop "Strenge bescherming copyright in Nederland remt economische groei".
De Lisbon Council: "The product of a year-long research project, the Index examines the relationship between economic growth and intellectual property regimes in some of the world’s most innovative economies. Written by Benjamin Gibert, non-resident fellow at the Lisbon Council, the report builds a system for measuring the impact of exceptions to copyright on economic growth and finds that countries that employ a broadly “flexible” regime of exceptions in copyright also saw higher rates of growth in value-added output throughout their economies.".
