区域学术科研合作影响因素研究

Factors Affecting Inter-regional Academic Scientifc Collaboration within China:Role of Economic Distance

从现有区域科技合作实证研究出发,研究经济距离以及其他变量因素对区域内学术科技合作的影响。结果表明,经济发达区域与经济不发达区域之间发表的学术论文存在明显差异,然而,这两类区域中的学术合作强度是相同的,区域之间科技资源(用R&D衡量)的差异可以用来解释区域间的学术合作,而区域间发展水平(用人均GDP衡量)的差异对区域间学术合作没有显示出积极的作用;此外,地理距离、专业化以及文化因素都出现积极的作用。

The paper offers some insights into scientific collaboration （SC） at the regional level by drawing upon two lines of inquiry. The descriptive results show that there are signifcant differences in the production of academic scientifc papers between less - favoured regions and core regions. However, the intensity of collaboration is similar in both types of regions. The differences in scientifc resources （ as measured by R＆D expendlture） between regions are relevant in explai- ning academic scientifc collaborations, while distance in the level of development （as measured by per capita GDP） does not appear to play any significant role. Nevertheless, geographical distance, specialization and cultural factors do yield signifcant estimated coeffcients.
