“帽子效应”与产业链韧性

“Hat effect”and industrial chain resilience

专精特新企业是中小企业中的明星企业,他们之间的合作创新对于增强产业链韧性、提升产业集群竞争力有着重要意义。近年中国的专精特新“小巨人”企业认定政策对于中小企业自身的技术创新起到了正向激励作用,然而这种认定政策对于企业之间的合作产生了多大效果呢?鲜有研究涉及该领域。运用PSM-DID模型,考察专精特新“小巨人”企业认定政策如何影响中小企业的合作创新。研究发现:专精特新“小巨人”企业认定能够显著提升中小企业合作创新能力,其作用机制在于“帽子”显著提升了资金效应、人才效应与市场效应。同时还发现,这种提升效应在知识产权保护水平较高地区和市场化程度较高地区中更明显。在理论上,研究结果揭示了专精特新企业“帽子效应”对区域合作创新的作用机理,丰富了区域创新理论和产业能力理论。在实践上,建议政府继续提升专精特新“帽子”含金量、鼓励中小企业合作创新,进一步加强区域经济市场化水平、优化知识产权保护制度。

Specialized,Refined,Differential and Innovative(SRDI)enterprises stand out as star performers among small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs).Collaborative innovation among them is of paramount significance in enhancing the resilience of industrial chains and elevating the competitiveness of industrial clusters.In recent years,the China’s policy of recognizing“SRDI‘Small Giant’”enterprises has played a positive motivational role for the recognized enterprises in their own technological innovation.However,to what extent does the Certification Policy affect cooperation among enterprises?There is scarce research addressing this field.The study employs the propensity score matching method and conducts empirical tests using the difference-in-differences model.The research analyzes how the SRDI small giant enterprises certification policy affects SMEs’collaborative innovation from the perspective of signal transmission.The findings reveal that the SRDI small giant enterprises certification policy positively contributes to the enhancement of collaborative innovation capabilities among SMEs.The mechanism lies in the“hat effect”significantly enhancing the effects of capital,talent,and market.Simultaneously,the effectiveness of the policy in enhancing the collaborative innovation capabilities of SMEs is more pronounced in regions with higher levels of intellectual property protection and greater marketization.In theory,this study reveals the mechanism of how the“hat effect”of SRDI enterprises promotes regional collaborative innovation,enriching the theory of regional innovation and industrial capability.In practice,it is recommended that the government continue to enhance the credibility of the SRDI“hat”and encourage collaborative innovation among SMEs.Furthermore,efforts should be made to further enhance the level of marketization in regional economies and optimize the intellectual property protection system.
