Intellectual Property Strategy and Urban Innovation—Experience from the Construction of Intellectual Property Demonstration City

保护知识产权就是保护创新,知识产权示范城市建设作为我国推进国家知识产权战略的一项政策试点,对城市创新具有重要意义。本文基于2006~2018年中国283个城市的面板数据,利用双重差分方法评估知识产权示范城市建设对城市创新的影响。研究表明:1) 知识产权示范城市对城市创新水平具有显著提升效果,且提升效果具有稳健性;2) 作用机制显示,知识产权示范城市建设之所以能够提升城市创新水平的关键在于政府的财政支持和产权保护,通过这两种方式参与创新活动,进而提升城市创新水平。
