竞争性资金与高校科研产出——基于622所高校的实证研究

Competitive Funding and Research Output:An Empirical Study Based on 622 Universities

本文基于2010—2017年全国622所高校的数据,实证检验高校的竞争性资金对其科研产出的影响。研究发现:高校的竞争性资金有利于其科研产出,不同类型的高校在竞争性资金对科研产出的影响上具有异质性,985、211高校相对于普通高校而言更能加强竞争性资金对科研产出的正向影响,与顶尖院校的合作可以加强竞争性资金对科研产出的正向影响。本研究丰富了科研经费与科研产出领域的文献,对高校积极争取企事业单位拨款、提高自身科研产出效率具有较强的启示意义。

Based on the data of 622 universities in China from 2010 to 2017,this paper empirically tests the impact of competitive funding on research output in universities.We find that the competitive funding of universities is positively associated with their research output.Simultaneously,the competitive funding can generate more research output in 985、211 universities than other normal universities.The positive link between competitive funding and research output appears to be heterogeneous across various disciplines.Further analysis shows that the opportunity of collaboration with top universities can enhance the positive impact of competitive funding on research output in universities.The study not only contributes to the literature on scientific research funding and academic output,but also has a strong enlightenment for universities to actively seek funding from enterprises and improve their own research output efficiency.
