进口中间品内嵌技术与企业创新

Technology Embedded in Imported Intermediate Products and Enterprise Innovation

创新是驱动经济高质量发展的第一动力,中间品贸易是技术溢出和扩散的重要载体。本文基于全球生产外包模型,纳入了企业创新行为,揭示了进口中间品内嵌技术对企业创新的影响机理。通过运用世界投入产出(WIOD)数据、中国工业企业数据和企业专利数据的实证检验发现:(1)进口中间品内嵌技术显著促进了企业创新,且对企业策略性创新的促进作用更大。(2)利润增加效应、生产率提升效应和市场规模扩大效应是进口中间品内嵌技术促进企业创新的主要作用渠道。(3)与来自中高收入经济体的中间品内嵌技术相比,来自高收入经济体的中间品内嵌技术更能促进企业创新。(4)对于外资企业、中高技术、东部和中部地区企业以及处于高竞争环境中的企业,进口中间品内嵌技术的创新效应更为明显。(5)企业吸收能力强化了进口中间品内嵌技术的创新效应,同时技术差距发挥着调节效应。

Innovation plays a key role in high-quality economic growth,and the technology embedded in traded intermediate products is crucial in promoting innovation through technology spillover and diffusion.In this study,we examine how technology embedded in imports impacts organizational innovation by using global production outsourcing model and enterprise innovation behavior is also considered.Our findings,with using the World Input-Output Data,Chinese Industrial Enterprise Data,and the Enterprise Patent Data,are as follow.First,the technology embedded remarkably promotes the innovation and plays an even greater role in promoting enterprises’strategic innovation.Second,the technology embedded promotes innovation through the channels of profit increases,productivity enhancements,and market expansion.Third,the technology embedded in intermediate products from high-income economies is more likely to stimulate greater innovation than that from medium-high-income economies.Fourth,the innovation effect is more evident in enterprises that are foreign-owned,specialize in medium and high-level technologies,based in eastern and central China,or operate in a highly competitive environment.Finally,the absorptive capacity of enterprises strengthens the innovation effect of technology embedded in intermediate products,whereas the technological gap taking a moderate effect.
