Based on the researches of regional economic geography,the authors of the paper consider RIS as the integrated and interactive systems with innovationmilieu, elements, units, structure and functions. Five aspects of evaluation indicators includinginnovation input scale and output scale, innovation milieu transition, innovation inner operation,as well as innovation outer impact are worked out for final indicators of RIS scale and quality.According to different RIS situations, three patterns of independent, imitative and cooperativedevelopment are put forward for choosing. At the latter part of the paper, we select 12 provincialregions (including three municipalities and one autonomous region) of China for empirical study. Theresults show that there exists great difference among each region from the aspects of innovationscale and quality mainly owning to the diversification of RIS social and economic milieu, the majorinnovative units of enterprises, universities and R&D institutes. Finally, the paper points out theinnovation development decisions for each region.展开更多

However, no in-depth researches have been made on how to solve this problem. Using data from Henan Province, China,employing geographical detector technology, this paper focuses on testing whether the industry-university-research cooperation can contribute to coordinating the relation between regional innovation and economic development. It is shown that: 1) the industry-universityresearch cooperation in Henan Province is increasing gradually, and the network presents a core-edge structure, and the coupling degree between regional innovation and economic development is spatially unbalanced, which is similar to the spatial distribution of the intensity of industry-university-research cooperation;2) as an important approach to effectively connect scientific researches with market demands, the industry-university-research cooperation can help form an interactive, interconnected, coupled and coordinated virtuous relation between regional innovation and economic development. Compared with the cooperation between organizations of the same type and the separate innovation of organizations, the improvement of the industry-university-research cooperation level can better coordinate the relation between regional innovation and economic development;3) the cooperative innovation model between enterprises and universities can better promote the coupling between regional innovation and economic development, compared with many industryuniversity-research cooperation models. For underdeveloped areas lacking local knowledge base, industry-university-research cooperation should be considered as a long-term development strategy, especially using the knowledge sources of external universities and scientific research institutions to enhance innovation capability and achieve economic growth.展开更多

Conventional regression analysis can only produce ＂average＂ and ＂global＂ parameter estimates rather than ＂local＂ parameter estimates which vary over space in some spatial systems. Geographically weighted regression （GWR）, on the other hand, is a simple but useful new technique for the analysis of spatial non-stationarity. Results show that there is a significant difference between OLS and GWR in estimating the parameters of R＆D knowledge production, and that the relationships between level of regional innovation activities and various factors show considerable spatial variability.展开更多

In this sense,the connotation of regional innovation capacity should reflect more aspects, such as better economic effectiveness, people-centered philosophy of development and better living conditions. This study aims at establishing the evaluation index system of regional innovation capacity under high-quality perspective.Then the dynamic evaluation method based on gray correlation degree and TOPSIS is improved. And the improved method is applied to evaluate the regional innovation capacity under high-quality development perspective. The results show that: 1) The regional innovation capacity of Jiangsu, Zhejiang,Shanghai and Guangdong under high-quality development perspective is better than other regions,while the regional innovation capacity of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is imbalanced. Regional innovation capability of Fujian, Shandong, and Hainan from a high-quality perspective is at the middle and lower levels. 2) From the perspective of development trends, the gap of regional innovation capacity between Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guangdong and Fujian, Hebei, Shandong is gradually narrowing.3) An in-depth analysis of the regional innovation capability of the eastern provinces and cities from the perspective of high-quality development through different dimensions shows that Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu perform well in all dimensions, while Fujian and Hainan need to pay more attention to innovation input and the creation of a better innovation environment to enhance innovation output and promote innovation effectiveness. At last, based on above analysis, relevant policy recommendations are proposed.展开更多

文摘Enhancing regional innovation efficiency is of great significance for accelerating regional high-quality development and building an innovative country.Based on the perspective of innovation ecosystem,this study constructs a regional innovation ecosystem analytical framework by integrating six key regional innovation ecosystem elements from three aspects:innovation actor,innovation resource,and innovation environment.Using a sample of 30 provinces in China and adopting methods such as NCA and fsQCA,this paper analyzes the multiple pathways of regional innovation ecosystem on regional innovation efficiency in two stages from a configurational perspective.The study results in several findings.Firstly,a single element of the regional innovation ecosystem does not constitute the necessary condition either for high R&D efficiency or for high commercialization efficiency,though high innovation-actor-link generally plays a universal role in achieving high R&D efficiency.Secondly,there are three pathways to achieve high R&D efficiency and five pathways to achieve high commercialization efficiency.Great differences exist between these two types of regional innovation efficiency pathways:strong innovation-actor-link plays a more crucial role in achieving high R&D efficiency,while favorable innovation-supportive-environment is more important for achieving high commercialization efficiency.Besides,the distribution of the cases with high R&D efficiency exhibits distinct spatial distribution characteristic.Thirdly,based on the intersection operation of the two types of high innovation efficiency configurations,we find that three pathways can achieve both high R&D efficiencies and high commercialization efficiencies.Among the 6 typical cases,4 provinces are in eastern China.Finally,based on further discussion and analysis,three meaningful research propositions for future exploration are proposed.Overall,this work refines the theoretical analysis framework of regional innovation ecosystem and deepens the analysis of the complex causal relationship between regional innovation ecosystem and innovation efficiency,and provides policy implications for regions to improve innovation efficiency from the perspective of innovation ecosystem.
文摘The present paper employs technique of geographical weighted regression （GWR） to make an empirical study of China＇s R＆D knowledge spillovers at city level. Conventional regression analysis can only produce ＂average＂ and ＂global＂ parameter estimates rather than ＂local＂ parameter estimates which vary over space in some spatial systems. Geographically weighted regression （GWR）, on the other hand, is a simple but useful new technique for the analysis of spatial non-stationarity. Results show that there is a significant difference between OLS and GWR in estimating the parameters of R＆D knowledge production, and that the relationships between level of regional innovation activities and various factors show considerable spatial variability.

文摘The perfection of the cross-border regional innovation system of the Pearl River Delta(PRD)and Hong Kong region remarkably underpins the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(GBA)towards an international technological innovation hub.This paper focuses on the relational characteristics of the usage of technological innovation functions and elements,including labor force,technology,and producer services from Hong Kong region by high-technology firms in the PRD,and probes into the influencing factors by integrating the objective perspective on the impact of firm-level socioeconomic attributes and subjective perspective on the open interpretations on the reasons by using or not using technological innovation functions and elements from Hong Kong region by various stakeholders in high-technology domains in the PRD.Key research findings are fourfold.First,Hong Kong's technological innovation functions primarily ride on its institutional advantages under the“One Country,Two Systems”framework to empower high-technology firms in the PRD by expanding their international market,international business operation,and financing,but cross-border investment and entrepreneurship has retrieved to a relatively marginalized position.The degree of supply-demand relations of producer services is the highest,followed by labor force and technology.Second,Hong Kong-invested,large-sized,and long-standing high-technology firms in the PRD are more inclined to use technological innovation elements from Hong Kong region,while domestic,small-and-medium-sized,and start-up high-technology firms in the PRD are in turn,gradually unhooked from the supply of technological innovation elements from Hong Kong region.Third,Hong Kong enjoys both advantages and disadvantages in supplying labor forces,technologies,and producer services to high-technology firms in the PRD,with advantages in competitiveness,international linkages and visions,and disadvantages in high cost,lack of more profound mutual understanding between Hong Kong and the PRD,and the imperfect cooperation mechanisms.Fourth,interactions among the transitioning role of Hong Kong region in the macro-level global and national economic development landscape,meso-level cross-border regional specificities under the“One Country,Two Systems”framework,and micro-level heterogeneous practices and capabilities of firms influence the usage of technological innovation functions and elements from Hong Kong region by high-technology firms in the PRD.

文摘In the context of the rapid development of the digital economy,regional innovation efficiency(RIE)has become an important indicator for measuring regional economic competitiveness.This study establishes an evaluation system for RIE driven by the digital economy,employing a two-stage inverse data envelopment analysis(DEA)model to measure RIE in China.It also conducts an empirical analysis of the allocation of technological resources in Jiangsu Province,providing valuable insights for RIE research within the framework of the digital economy.The research results indicate that from 2014 to 2019,the overall RIE in China gradually improved,with significant increases in innovation efficiency in the eastern and western regions,while the northeastern region experienced a slight decline.Focusing on resource allocation in Jiangsu,we find that as the input proportion gradually increases,it is necessary to reduce output in the technology development stage and enhance output in the achievement transformation stage to maintain the current efficiency level.However,to improve the RIE score,it is essential to simultaneously increase the output levels of both stages.

文摘While researchers have used the traditional index system–part of the niche-fitness model–to evaluate the innovation ecosystem,this index system can be seen as not being sufficiently objective,with the consequent problem that it gives equal weight to the indicators and so does not specify the important factors.To remedy this problem of insufficient objectivity,this paper seeks to improve the traditional niche-fitness model in two ways,which are based on the theory of the innovation ecosystem.First,by introducing the principal components analytic method to solve multiple mutual linear problems.Second,by constructing a new evaluation index system from the four aspects of openness,synergy,sustainability,and growth.This new evaluation index system is closer to the characteristics of the organic and evolutionary nature of the sustainable innovation ecosystem compared with the traditional index system.By using the evaluation index system,the research carries out a health assessment for the sustainable innovation ecosystems in different regions of provincial and municipal China from the two perspectives of descriptive and quantitative analyses.Through these analyses,our findings suggest that the sustainable regional innovation ecosystems in China are,on the whole,in an imbalance:there is a gradual decreasing trend from the eastern coastal areas to the central and western regions,and then the northeast regions.

文摘The economy of China has turned to the stage of high-quality development. In this sense,the connotation of regional innovation capacity should reflect more aspects, such as better economic effectiveness, people-centered philosophy of development and better living conditions. This study aims at establishing the evaluation index system of regional innovation capacity under high-quality perspective.Then the dynamic evaluation method based on gray correlation degree and TOPSIS is improved. And the improved method is applied to evaluate the regional innovation capacity under high-quality development perspective. The results show that: 1) The regional innovation capacity of Jiangsu, Zhejiang,Shanghai and Guangdong under high-quality development perspective is better than other regions,while the regional innovation capacity of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is imbalanced. Regional innovation capability of Fujian, Shandong, and Hainan from a high-quality perspective is at the middle and lower levels. 2) From the perspective of development trends, the gap of regional innovation capacity between Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guangdong and Fujian, Hebei, Shandong is gradually narrowing.3) An in-depth analysis of the regional innovation capability of the eastern provinces and cities from the perspective of high-quality development through different dimensions shows that Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu perform well in all dimensions, while Fujian and Hainan need to pay more attention to innovation input and the creation of a better innovation environment to enhance innovation output and promote innovation effectiveness. At last, based on above analysis, relevant policy recommendations are proposed.
