“三权下放”改革能否促进高校专利技术转移？——基于PSM-DID的实证研究

Has the Reform of "Decentralization of Three-rights" Promoted the Performance of Patent Technology Transfer in Universities？ The Empirical Study based on the PSM-DID

摘要:

高校科技成果使用权、处置权和收益权下放改革是促进高校专利技术转移的重要举措。采用65所高校2009～2017年的科技统计数据,基于倾向得分匹配-双重差分方法(PSM-DID)评估“三权下放”改革试点政策促进高校专利技术转移的效果。研究发现：(1)“三权下放”改革试点政策对高校专利转让数量和转让收入都具有显著正向影响；(2)试点政策对专利转让数量存在时间滞后效应,对专利转让收入存在动态效应；(3)试点政策效果存在异质性,主要促进了双一流高校、东部高校和理工类高校的专利技术转移；(4)专利申请对于试点政策促进专利技术转移具有中介作用,试点政策通过减少专利申请提高了专利技术转移绩效。

Abstract:

It is an important reform to decentralize the right to use, dispose of and benefit from university scientific and technological achievements, which aims to promote the performance of patent technology transfer. Based on the scientific and technological statistics of 65 universities from 2009 to 2017, this paper uses the propensity score matching and difference in difference method to evaluate the policy effect of reform of "decentralization of three-rights". We find that: (1) the reform has a significant positive impact on the number and income of university patent transfer; (2) the reform has a time-lag effect on the number of patent transfer and a dynamic effect on the income of patent transfer; (3) the reform effect is heterogeneous, mainly promoting the performance in "double first-class" universities, eastern universities, and polytechnic universities; (4) patent applications play an intermediary role in the reform and the performance, and the reform has improved the performance by reducing patent applications.
