Abstract:Enterprise R&D institutions are the backbone of comprehensively improving enterprises' independent innovation capabilities, but existing relevant research focuses more on the relationship between enterprise size and enterprise innovation, and less attention is paid to the interactive relationship between the scale of enterprise R&D institutions and enterprise innovation. To this end, relevant panel data of high-tech enterprises in 29 provinces in China from 2013 to 2020 were selected, and the simultaneous equation model, panel threshold model and panel vector autoregressive model were used to analyze the static linear relationship between the scale of R&D institutions and corporate innovation. , static nonlinear relationships and dynamic relationships were analyzed, and backpropagation artificial neural networks were used for robustness testing, and impulse response functions and variance decomposition were used to further analyze the impulses of corporate innovation, R&D institution scale, R&D funding investment, and R&D labor input. response. The results show that there is no significant static linear relationship between the scale of corporate R&D institutions and corporate innovation; as the scale of corporate R&D institutions expands, the elasticity of its impact on corporate innovation gradually decreases; as the level of corporate innovation achievements increases, corporate R&D institutions The elasticity of the impact of scale on enterprise innovation increases; the expansion of the scale of enterprise R&D institutions will actually have the greatest positive effect on enterprise innovation at a lag of 1 period, and the sustainability is not strong, while enterprise innovation has a negative impact on the scale of enterprise R&D institutions , indicating that when companies achieve their current innovation goals, most companies no longer engage in large-scale innovation, or even appropriately reduce the scale of their R&D institutions.
