奥德兹和蒂斯对创新与创业经济学的贡献——科睿唯安“引文桂冠”经济学奖得主学术贡献评介

Contributions of D.B.Audretsch and D.J.Teece to the Economics of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

戴维·奥德兹和戴维·蒂斯是率先从创新和企业家精神维度研究经济增长和微观经济资源配置机制的代表性学者,并在理论上自成体系。两位学者在主流经济学强调的物质资本和外生技术进步驱动经济增长的框架之外,开创性地提出将创业资本作为一种生产要素,并纳入生产函数解释跨地区和跨国别的产出差异。他们力图将市场资源配置的主导权从价格体系转向具有动态能力的创新企业,为创新型经济发展提供了坚实的微观经济理论基础,将初创企业及企业家精神对经济增长的重要性提升到了新的高度。本文分别对戴维·奥德兹的创业资本经济增长理论、知识溢出创业理论及戴维·蒂斯的企业动态能力管理系统理论的诞生背景、理论框架和理论贡献进行介绍,有助于国内学者辩证审视建设创业型社会的必要性及其对我国经济可持续发展的积极作用。

David B.Audretsch and David J.Teece are representative scholars to take the lead in studying economic growth and microeconomic resource allocation mechanisms from the perspective of innovation and entrepreneurship,and their research are theoretically self-contained.In addition to the framework emphasized by mainstream economics,under which physical capital and exogenous technological progress drive economic growth,the two scholars added entrepreneurial capital as a production factor into the production function to explain the output differences across regions and countries.They tried to shift the dominance of market resource allocation from the price system to innovative enterprises with dynamic capabilities,providing a solid microeconomic theoretical foundation for the development of innovative economies,and elevating the importance of start-ups and entrepreneurship to economic growth to a new level.This article respectively introduces the birth background,theoretical framework and theoretical contributions of David B.Audretsch’s entrepreneurial capital economic growth theory,knowledge spillover entrepreneurship theory and David J.Teece’s dynamic capabilities as management systems theory.By combing and reviewing the theories of the two scholars,this article helps domestic scholars to dialectically examine the necessity of China’s building an entrepreneurial society and its positive effect on the long-term sustainable development of China’s economy.
