高校基础研究与创新知识溢出:来自高校设立技术转移机构的证据

Basic research and innovation knowledge spillover from universities:Evidence from the establishment of technology transfer institutions in universities

促进高校基础研究成果转化已成为我国推进创新型国家建设的重要战略任务,也是实现我国科技自立自强的重要举措。以高校设立技术转移机构为外生冲击,利用了中国工企数据库和专利引用数据,采用DID模型研究了高校基础研究对于创新知识溢出的影响。研究结果显示:(1)高校基础研究显著提升了企业的创新知识溢出水平,表现为高校成立技术转移机构能够显著促进企业的专利引用率和专利产出率;(2)高校成立技术转移机构能够促进产学研合作组织更加完整,使得创新主体之间的信息不对称问题得到解决,从而促进高校基础研究的创新知识溢出效应。因此,政策制定者应该更加注重对高校技术转移机构的转移转化能力培养,促进知识溢出,对于校企合作提供更多优惠政策,塑造良好的产学研环境,从而提升城市创新能力。

Promoting the transformation of basic research results in universities has become an important strategic task to promote the construction of an innovative country in China,and an important initiative to realize China’s scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.In this paper,the impact of basic research in universities on innovation knowledge spillover is investigated by using the DID model with the exogenous shock of setting up technology transfer institutions in universities,using the database of Chinese industrial enterprises and patent citation data.The research results show that:(1)basic research in universities significantly improves the innovation knowledge spillover level of enterprises,as shown by the establishment of technology transfer institutions in universities can significantly promote the patent citation rate and patent output rate of enterprises;(2)the establishment of technology transfer institutions in universities can promote a more complete organization of industry-university-research cooperation,which makes the information asymmetry problem between innovation subjects be solved,thus promoting the innovation knowledge spillover of basic research in universities knowledge spillover effect.Therefore,policy makers should pay more attention to the cultivation of transfer and transformation ability of technology transfer institutions in universities,promote knowledge spillover,provide more preferential policies for university-enterprise cooperation,and shape a good environment for industry-university-research,so as to enhance the innovation ability of cities.
