行政级别、财政支持与城市创新能力——兼论不同区域发展战略的影响

Administrative Level,Financial Support and Innovation Capability of City——also on the Impacts of Regional Strategies

本文将行政级别纳入到城市创新系统的研究中,基于2009~2016年地级市面板数据,运用中介效应模型考察了行政级别对于城市创新能力的直接促进作用,明晰了政府财政支持对城市创新能力的间接效应。研究发现:(1)行政级别越高的城市其创新能力也越强;(2)行政级别主要通过财政支持对城市创新产生影响;(3)行政级别每提高一个层级,对于城市创新能力的促进作用也会更强;(4)不同区域战略地区城市行政级别对创新的促进作用存在差异。提升城市的创新能力,需要地方政府积极干预,并根据地区发展战略和发展基础制定针对性的政策措施。
