互联网产业发展、知识溢出与区域创新空间演进

The Development of the Internet Industry,Knowledge Spillover and the Evolution of Regional Innovation Space

当前,互联网因其具有的“时空压缩”效应与新经济增长点的“催化剂”特性,已成为中国区域创新空间演进的重要变革力量。文章基于2007—2018年中国省级面板数据,从知识溢出的视角探讨互联网产业对区域创新影响的本地效应和溢出效应。研究发现,基于互联网产业信息交流效应和主体连接效应,互联网通过专业化产业集聚形成知识溢出进而促进区域创新产出。同时,互联网产业对区域创新空间演进具有显著作用,互联网产业发展的空间外溢效应将促进周边地区的区域创新产出。该研究一方面描述了我国互联网产业集聚和区域创新效率的空间特征,另一方面,对优化区域创新空间和推动“互联网+”的实施具有重大现实意义。

At present,due to the effect of its“space-time compression”and the“catalyst”characteristics of the new economic growth points,the Internet has become an important catalyst force for the evolution of regional innovation space in China.Based on the Chinese provincial panel data from 2007—2018,this paper discusses the local effect and spillover effect of the Internet industry on regional innovation from the perspective of knowledge spillover.The study has found that based on the information exchange effect and subject connection effect of the Internet industry,the Internet forms knowledge spillover through professional industrial agglomeration and thus promotes regional innovation output.At the same time,the Internet industry has a significant role in the spatial evolution of regional innovation.The spatial spillover effect of the development of the Internet industry will promote the regional innovation output of the surrounding areas.On the one hand,the study describes the spatial characteristics of China’s Internet industry agglomeration and regional innovation efficiency,and on the other hand,it has great practical significance for optimizing regional innovation space and promoting the implementation of the“Internet+”.
