产学合作数量与学术创新绩效关系

Study on the Relationship of University-industry Collaborations and Academic Innovation Performance——Based on the Panel Quantile Regression Model

采用面板分位数回归方法,基于《2016中国大学评价报告》中前100所大学2011-2015年数据,对产学合作数量与学术创新绩效关系进行研究。结果显示:(1)产学合作数量与学术创新绩效之间存在明显的倒U型关系,表明存在最优的产学合作数量使高校获得最佳学术创新绩效;(2)不同分位点处存在异质效应,表明产学合作数量对学术创新绩效高低分位的影响具有差异,因此,不能搞"一刀切"的产学合作治理结构;(3)合作广度、知识能力对产学合作数量与学术创新绩效的关系产生了正向调节效应。

Using the panel data from 2011 to 2015 of top 100 universities in the 2016 Chinese University Evaluation Report,the paper tests the relationship between the numbers of university-industry cooperation and academic innovation performance based on the quantile regression model.The results showed an obvious non-linear relationship with inverted-U shape between the numbers of university-industry collaborations and academic innovation performance,which indicates that there exists the optimal level of the number of university-industry collaboration to maximize the academic innovation performance.This heterogeneous effect indicates that the number of university-industry collaborations has different impact on academic innovation performance across different quantiles,which implies that we should apply a differentiation strategy instead of a unitary university-industry governance structure in practice.In addition,this study also testifies the moderating effects of collaboration breadth and the knowledge capacity on university-industry collaboration intensity and academic innovation performance.
