How Does Government ProcurementPromote Enterprise Innovation?—On the Synergy between Demand-Pull and Supply-Push of Innovation Policies

The promotion of technological innovation in firms requires both the supply-push and the demand-pull.To accurately identify,assess,and further enhance the incentive effects of the policies of government procurement for innovation in China,this paper uses the text analysis method to identify government procurement for innovation from more than 640,000 pieces of government procurement contracts and conducts an empirical analysis based on the data of China's A-share listed firms from 2015 to 2020.The study finds that government procurement for innovation significantly promotes corporate innovation by increasing the expected market returns,reducing R&D uncertainty,and easing financing constraints.Specifically,local government procurement for innovation,central government procurement for innovation,and procurement for innovation by universities and research institutes bring more significant innovation incentives for firms;and government procurement for innovation generates stronger innovation incentives for firms in strategic and emerging industries,private firms,and small-and medium-sized enterprises.Further analysis reveals that demandside innovation procurement and supply-side innovation subsidies generally have mutually reinforcing synergies on corporate innovation.The policy synergies vary depending on the levels of corporate innovation and the orders of policy implementation.In terms of the levels of corporate innovation,the two-sided policies has mutually complementary effects on innovation-leading firms and mutually exclusive effects on innovation-lagging firms.From the perspective of the orders of policy implementation,the strategy of supply-side subsidies first,and demand-side procurement second is more effective in promoting corporate innovation than the strategies of demand-side procurement first and supply-side subsidies second,and supply-side subsidies and demand-side procurement concur.This study helps deepen the understanding of demand-side innovation support policies and provides an important reference for further improvement of China's innovation incentive policies.

2020年冬季中国公共管理研究佳作评介

This article introduces four of the latest,high-quality papers published in China’s top journals.The first article is an in-depth discussion of"government as a platform"contributing to an emerging and timely discussion of digital government in the public management literature.By employing the theory of"loose coupling"from organizational institutionalism,the second study introduces a new theoretical concept,that is,a"security zone for achievement"to synthesize the seemingly contradictory propositions derived from credit claiming and blame avoidance,based on a city’s trajectory in a Smart City project.The third paper proposes a theoretical alternative,prioritizing the Party committee’s assigned tasks,to supplement the existing explanations of local governance in China as applied to water treatment in provincial China.Such a mechanism is different from the campaign-style governance model because the Party committee plays a key role in providing substantial institutional incentives.The final paper conceptualizes institutional frictions in the Chinese context and explains different spending patterns across functional expenditures at the provincial level,suggesting a local leader’s tenure may influence target selections for punctuated expenditures.The paper concludes with a brief summary.
