信息消费能促进区域创新效率提升吗?——基于省域面板数据的实证研究

Can information consumption promote the efficiency of regional innovation:An empirical study based on provincial panel data

信息消费的兴起为区域以需求升级引领供给创新、激发增长新动能提供了新的契机。利用2012—2019年中国省域面板数据探索信息消费对区域创新效率的影响,并从供给—需求匹配视角引入本地信息产业水平作为调节变量。研究发现,信息消费对区域创新效率的影响呈现为倒U型关系,同时本地信息产业水平在二者之间发挥了调节作用。信息产业水平较低的区域,信息消费与区域创新效率的倒U型关系更趋陡峭。基于此,就如何有效利用信息消费激发内需以促进区域创新提出相应的对策建议。

The rise of information consumption provides a new opportunity for regions to lead supply innovation with demand upgrades and stimulate new momentum of growth.This study uses 2012-2019 provincial panel data to explore the relationship between information consumption and the efficiency of regional innovation,and introduces the level of information industry as the moderator from the perspective of matching supply with demand.This study finds out that the influence of information consumption on the efficiency of regional innovation is presented as the inverted U-shaped relationship.Meanwhile,the level of information industry moderates the relationship between information consumption and the efficiency of regional innovation.In areas with the low level of information industry,the inverted U-shaped relationship between information consumption and the efficiency of regional innovation becomes steeper.Based on these findings,this paper puts forward some suggestions on how to effectively use information consumption to stimulate domestic demand and promote regional innovation.
