摘要:    在探究海外人才回流对企业技术创新的影响作用中,现有研究主要关注海外人才回流的直接创新效应,常常忽略掉企业增加前置性资源投入所带来的间接创新效应的影响作用。基于此,文章通过理论及实证分析,选取2009—2018年30个省(自治区、直辖市) 的面板数据作为研究样本,构建了面板模型,运用混合回归估计方法,就全国和分地区两个维度分别探究了海外人才回流的研发资金创新效应和研发人员创新效应对企业技术创新研究的影响。结果表明:第一,海外人才回流的间接创新效应包括研发资金创新效应和研发人员创新效应。第二,海外人才回流的间接创新效应在企业的技术创新中起到明显正相关影响。第三,海外人才回流后,由此带来的研发人员创新效应比研发资金创新效应更明显。第四,海外人才回流的研发人员创新效应对企业技术创新的影响不存在区域差异,研发资金创新效应对企业技术创新的影响存在区域差异,其中,在东西部地区,研发资金创新效应的提升对企业技术创新起到正向影响,在中部地区,这种影响并不显著。本文研究了在全球人才争夺战和海外人才大规模回流的背景下,企业为争夺高层次海外人才而进行的前置性资源投入对企业技术创新带来的影响,印证了海外人才回流的间接创新效应对企业技术的影响,拓展了现有的研究并提供了一个全新的视角。

Abstract:    In exploring the impact of overseas talent return to China on enterprise technological innovation, existing research primarily focused on the direct innovative effects of returnees but overlooked the influence of indirect innovation effects brought by enterprises′ increased pre-investment in resources. Based on this premise, this paper, through theoretical and empirical analyses, selected the panel data from 30 provincial-level regions in  China from 2009 to 2018 as the research sample. A panel model was constructed, and a mixed regression estimation method was applied to empirically investigate the impact patterns of R&D funding innovation effects and R&D talent innovation effects of overseas talent return to China on enterprise technological innovation at both national and regional levels. The study results indicated that: first, the indirect innovation effects of returnees include both R&D funding innovation effects and R&D talent innovation effects. Second, the indirect innovation effects of overseas talent return to China have a significantly positive influence on enterprise technological innovation. Third, the impact of R&D talent innovation effects of returnees on enterprise technological innovation is more significant than the impact of R&D funding innovation effects. Fourth, regional differences exist in the influence of R&D funding innovation effects on enterprise technological innovation. In the eastern and western regions of China, the enhancement of R&D funding innovation effects has a positive impact on enterprise technological innovation, while in the central region of China, this impact is not significant. This study explored the indirect impact of proactive resource investment by enterprises in competing for high-level returned talents on technological innovation in the context of global talent competition and large-scale return of overseas talents. It confirmed the role of indirect innovation effects of overseas talent return to China on enterprise technological innovation, expands existing research, and provides a fresh perspective.
