A research on technological bias in the process of carbon dioxide emission reduction in China 2018, 39(5): 29-37.  Abstract ( 332 )   It is basic to definite the technological bias in process of carbon dioxide emission reduction of China for making emission reduction policy. Basing on the difference of mechanism of action, the model of effective factors to carbon dioxide emission was established in the paper. Taking the data of emission of 1984-2013 as samples, technological bias in the process of carbon dioxide emission reduction of China was experimentally tested through co-integration technology. The result shows that biases do exist, and technological bias leans to energy production technology rather than energy utilization technology, this is inconsistent with observation in practice. Through analysis, the reason why production technology made greater contribution than utilization did, in measurement results is related to the “Rebound Effect”. Therefore, the relevant advices for implementing the emission policy of China were, improving energy technology creativity, revolving the examining ways, saving energy in constructions and adjusting industrial structure etc. Related Articles | Metrics

A study of the effects of land financing on regional innovation with the evidence of panel data from Chinese provincial governments Yan Bo, Wu Long, Han Dongling, Cheng Qijiazhi, Wu Jiannan 2018, 39(5): 38-45.  Abstract ( 389 )    This paper investigates the effects of land financing on regional innovation by means of 2SLS regression analysis on the panel data from 31 provincial governments in China (2003-2011). The finding shows that there is a significant inverted U-curve relationship between land financing and regional innovation. It implies that the positive externality of land financing is decreasing while the negative externalities are emerging, so that land financing promotes regional innovation at the beginning but jeopardizes it in the end. These compound effects reflect the rational choices of local governments under strict resource constraints and strong and target pressures, and enterprises are also rational in pursuit of short-term profits and avoiding innovation risks. It highlights new perspectives for exploring the institutional antecedents of regional innovation and further understanding the cause-effect of policy implementation paradox in China, and it also provides implications for practitioners to promote comprehensive reforms, advance the new-type urbanization and implement innovation-led development strategy.

Cooperation and firm international innovation: The moderating role of government involvement Zhou Jianghua1, Li Jizhen2, Li Biqing3, Liu Zixu2 2018, 39(5): 46-55.  Abstract ( 504 )   We use a 3-year panel data (from 2009 to 2011) from the Innovative Firms Database collected by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MOST) to test our model. Through regression analysis, we respectively test the effects of firm-firm cooperation and firm-university cooperation on firm international innovation, and explore the contingency mechanism by empirically testing the moderating effects of government involvement. Our results indicate that firm-firm cooperation positively leads to firm international innovation performance, while firm-university cooperation has an inverted U-shaped effect on firm international innovation performance. Besides, government involvement positively moderates the relationship between firm-firm cooperation and international innovation performance, and improves the relationship between firm-university cooperation and international innovation performance.

A study of the optimal allocation of key resources in innovative enterprises from the perspective of efficiency Zhang Xiaoming, Wang Yingming, Shi Hailiu 2018, 39(5): 103-111.  Abstract ( 443 )   In this paper, the DEA model is improved, so that through the optimization of key resources we can minimize the key inputs, or maximize the important output, or optimize the both simultaneously. The improved DEA model is used to optimize t the allocation of resources and adjust the efficiency of innovation. The research shows that：(1)When the target is the minimization of the key inputs, the optimal allocation of single key resource can be more targeted and more economical; the optimal allocation of multiple key resources can meet different needs but also reduce the optimized space of individual resources. (2) When the target is the maximization of the important output, it can also be achieved by optimizing the allocation of key resources, but due to the increase in important output, compared to the case (1), it sacrifice some critical resources to reduce the space.(3) When the objective is to minimize the critical inputs and maximize the critical outputs, the objective also can be achieved through the allocation optimization of key resource, and the key resources of the optimization space is different from the first two.(4) When we achieve the above three goals through the optimization of key resources, the evaluated enterprise are improved from non DEA effective unit to DEA effective unit.
