Abstract:Based on the statistical survey data of high-tech enterprises in Guangdong Province from 2015-2018 by the Torch High Technology Industry Development Center, a multilevel linear model is used to evaluate the effects of two innovation incentive policies, preferential tax policy and policy of fiscal subsidies on the innovation quality improvement of high-tech enterprises of different sizes, industries, and categories. The result shows that there are differences in the effects of two innovation incentive polices on the ability of commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, intellectual property rights and technical standards, R&D investment intensity, financial capability, new product revenue of high-tech enterprises of different types, sizes and identified categories. The effect on the ability of enterprises to transform scientific and technological achievements is stronger, and the effect on Intellectual Property, Technical Standards, and Return On Assets is weaker. Fiscal Subsidies have a negative effect on the ability of the incubated enterprises to transform scientific and technological achievements, and Tax Favored Benefits have a negative effect on the intensity of R&D investment in Electronic Information Enterprises and Service Enterprises. Guangdong Province is suggested to motivate high-tech enterprises should be motivated to improve the quality of innovation by continuing to implement Fiscal Subsidies, High-tech Enterprise Incubator Policy and other innovation incentive policies, focusing on the demands of micro, small and medium high-tech enterprises, promoting large high-tech enterprises to become larger and better, formulating and introducing supporting policies and creating an innovation eco-chain for high-tech enterprises.
