Research on the Linkage Effect and Coordinated Development Between Public Libraries Construction and Innovation Efficiency:Theoretical and Empirical Evidence from China

Based on the panel data of 29 provincial administrative regions in China from 2011 to 2022,this study uses the entropy weighting method and the global super-efficiency SBM model to evaluate and measure the public libraries construction level and innovation efficiency in China,uses the vector autoregression model,theαconvergence model and theβconvergence model to evaluate and test whether there is a positive linkage effect between public libraries construction and innovation efficiency,and uses the coupling coordination model to calculate and analyze the coupling coordination degree between public libraries construction and innovation efficiency.The results show that China’s public libraries construction and innovation efficiency are generally in a good development trend,but there is still a large gap from reaching a high level.There is a positive linkage effect between China’s public libraries construction and innovation efficiency,which can not only promote each other’s development,but also drive each other to achieve regional balanced development.The coupling coordination degree between China’s public libraries construction and innovation efficiency is showing a steady upward trend,but it is still on the verge of imbalance as a whole,and the eastern region is significantly better than the central region and western region.The results reveal the positive linkage effect between public libraries construction and innovation efficiency,which has enlightenment significance for building a strong country in culture and innovation.Based on this,this study puts forward suggestions on increasing investment in public libraries construction,optimizing the configuration structure of innovation factors,and strengthening the deep integration of public libraries construction and innovation activities,so as to give full play to the positive linkage effect between public libraries construction and innovation efficiency.
