邻近视角下跨区域产学协同创新的影响因素研究

Analysis on the Influencing Factors of Inter-regional Industry-University Collaborative Innovation from the Perspective of Proximity

摘要:

邻近性对跨区域产学协同创新具有重要意义。基于2001～2018年中国31个省间共同申请并授权的发明专利数据，利用固定效应负二项式模型探讨经济、制度、地理和认知四种邻近性及其交互关系对跨区域产学协同创新的影响机制。实证结果表明我国的区域间产学协同创新遵循着“核心-边缘”结构，发达地区与欠发达地区的合作仍是跨区域产学协同创新的主导，经济距离促进了协同创新绩效；交通和通讯设施的发展并未减弱地理邻近的作用，地理距离依然是阻碍协同创新的重要因素之一；与以往研究中的线性关系不同，制度距离与区域间协同创新呈倒U型关系；认知邻近显著正向促进了跨区域协同创新，在多维邻近下起着最重要的作用。

Abstract:

The proximities among regions have great impact on the inter-regional industry-university collaborative innovation. This study explores the mechanism of the impact of economic proximity, institutional proximity, geographical proximity and cognitive proximity on inter-regional industry-university collaborative innovation, and proposes four hypotheses accordingly. The data consists of a set of co-invention patents authorized by 31 provinces between 2001 and 2018 in China, The fixed-effect negative binomial model has been employed for analysis to investigate the proximity of each dimension and the interaction among them in China's cross-regional collaborative innovation. The results show that China's inter-regional industry-university collaborative innovation follows the "core-periphery" structure. Cooperation between developed and underdeveloped regions is still the dominant synergy model, that’s to say economic distance facilitates the inter-regional collaborative innovation. Despise the development of transportation and communication facilities, geographical distance is still the constraint element for inter-regional collaboration. Different from the linear relationship in previous studies, institutional distance and inter-regional collaborative innovation show an inverted u-shaped relationship. Cognitive proximity significantly promotes cross-regional collaborative innovation and plays the most important role in multi-dimensional proximity.
