科技型中小企业创新基金对于企业创新的影响

The Impact of Technology Innovation Fund for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises on Enterprise Innovation

基于2009~2013年科技型中小企业技术创新基金立项名单、中国工业企业数据库以及中国专利数据库,使用倾向得分匹配模型对科技型中小企业技术创新基金(简称创新基金)对于企业创新的影响进行了评估检验和分析,并且对于政策影响进行了进一步的异质性分析。研究结果表明,科技型中小企业技术创新基金对于企业的创新产出具有显著的正向影响,此外,在接受创新基金支持的企业中存在着影响创新产出的异质性效应,出口企业、东部地区的企业和资本密集型行业的企业在创新产出方面更具有优势。因此,要营造适宜企业创新的社会环境,提升企业自主研发创新的意识,关注中小企业创新研发面临的融资难、融资贵问题,并完善科技创新政策的全过程评价体系。

Based on the list of projects approved by the Technology Innovation Fund for Small and Medi-um-sized Technology-based Enterprises from 2009 to 2013, the China Industrial Enterprise Data-base, and the China Patent Database, an evaluation, verification, and analysis of the impact of the Technology Innovation Fund (referred to as the Innovation Fund) on enterprise innovation were conducted using a propensity score matching model. Further heterogeneity analysis was conducted to examine the policy effects. The research results indicate that the Technology Innovation Fund for small and medium-sized technology-based enterprises has a significant positive impact on the innovation output of enterprises. Additionally, there are heterogeneity effects on innovation output among enterprises receiving support from the Innovation Fund, with export-oriented enterprises, enterprises in the eastern region, and capital-intensive industries having advantages in innovation output. Therefore, it is necessary to create a conducive social environment for enterprise innovation, enhance the awareness of independent research and development innovation, pay attention to the financing difficulties and high costs faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in innovation research and development, and improve the comprehensive evaluation system for science and technology innovation policies.
