互联网、创新要素流动与区域创新能力差异

Internet,Innovation Factor Flow and Disparities of Regional Innovation Capability

基于2008—2017年中国30个省(区、市)的面板数据,利用面板回归模型,探究互联网对区域创新能力的直接影响,并在此基础上,考察创新要素的流动的中介效应。实证研究结果表明:一方面,互联网直接促进了区域创新能力的提升,且其对东中部地区的推进作用显著大于西部地区。另一方面,互联网通过影响创新要素流动可以间接作用于区域创新能力,但在不同区域的表现差异明显。在东中部地区,互联网通过推动创新要素的流动进一步提升了区域创新能力;在西部地区,互联网对创新要素流动产生负向影响,导致该地区创新能力有所下降。

Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from the year 2008 to 2017,this paper uses the panel regression model to explore the direct impact of the I nternet on regional innovation capabilities,and on this basis,the mediating effect of the innovation factors flow is examined.The empirical study results show that,on the one hand,the Internet directly promotes the enhancement of regional innovation capabilities,and its promotion effect on the eastern and central regions is significantly greater than that of the western regions.On the other hand,the Internet has affected regional innovation capabilities indirectly by affecting the innovation factors flow.However,the impact of the innovation factors flow in different regions is significantly different.In the eastern and central regions,the Internet has further enhanced regional innovation capabilities by promoting the flow of innovation elements,while in the western region,the Internet has a negative impact on the flow of innovation factors,resulting in a decline in the region's innovation capabilities.
