Abstract:Technological innovation of seed industry is the inevitable choice of "storing grain in technology" strategy. The government and the market, as the two major promoters of enterprise innovation, have an important influence on the efficiency of technological innovation of seed industry enterprises. On the basis of the data of seed enterprises in 30 provinces of China from 2013 to 2018, the DEA-Malmquist model is used to calculate and dynamically analyze the technological innovation efficiency of seed enterprises. On this basis, the panel Tobit model and panel threshold regression model are used to analyze the influence of government subsidy and market concentration on technological innovation efficiency of seed enterprises. The results show that there is still much room for improvement in technological innovation efficiency of seed enterprises in China. Market concentration has a negative impact on technological innovation efficiency of seed industry enterprises. Government subsidies can promote the improvement of technological innovation efficiency of seed enterprises. But its effect will be regulated by market concentration, which will inhibit the positive effect of government subsidies.
