中小企业的政府补贴与技术创新

The Subsidies for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Technology Innovations

本文重点研究何种情境下政府对中小企业的政府补贴能更好地推动技术创新。理论方面,通过构建模型证明竞争提升有利于提升政府补贴对中小企业创新的作用。实证方面,由于“双创”政策下的政府补贴主要集中在非高新中小企业,改变了以往政府补贴主要聚焦“高新技术企业”的状态,加大了中小企业间的竞争,利用这一“自然实验”,通过双重差分法证明了理论假设。由此得出研究结论:“双创”政策对非高新中小企业政府补贴的增加,改善了竞争环境,不仅能够增加非高新中小企业的创新产出,而且显著大幅提升了高新中小企业政府补贴的创新产出。

This paper studies that in what circumstances,getting subsidies can improve the innovations of SMEs.The constructed theoretical model illustrates that the increased competition in acquiring subsidies can enhance the efficiency of subsidies on encouraging innovations.There is a situation that incentives are mainly concentrated in non-high-tech SMEs under the policy of“mass entrepreneurship and innovation”,which changes the previous status of government subsidies mainly focusing on“high-tech enterprises”and increases competition among SMEs.Thus,using the unique policy named“mass entrepreneurship and innovation”raised by China’s government from 2015,we provide solid evidences for our theoretical conclusions by employing the difference and difference tests.In sum,the paper certifies not only the substantial role of the“mass entrepreneurship and innovation”policy on promoting the SMEs’innovations,but also the crucial role of the completion of subsidies among SMEs.
