外商直接投资(FDI)通常被认为是先进技术转移和扩散的重要渠道,而近年来对于FD I是否能促进国内企业的技术进步,正日益成为学者们和产业界争论的焦点。本文运用全国各地区的数据分析了FDI对促进区域创新能力的影响。结果表明FD I的流入对国内企业的技术外溢效应并非普遍认为的那样显著,FDI对提高区域创新能力的作用是有限的,对提高自主创新能力和增强原创性的科技能力无显著影响。加大国内研发投入,增强国内企业技术创新的源动力,提高技术创新能力和技术吸收能力,营造技术创新的良好环境才是提高区域创新能力的关键。

FDI has been traditionally considered as an important channel in the diffusion of advanced technology.Whether it can promote the technology advancement in China? This problem becomes the focusing point for Chinese scholars in recent years.The relationship between FDI and Regional Innovation Capability(RIC) is analyzed.It is found that the spillover effects of FDI are not significant as usually think.The impact of FDI on RIC is weak;the entry of FDI has no use for enhancing independent innovation capability.The research manifests that increasing domestic R&D inputs,strengthening the innovation capabilities and technology absorbency in domestic enterprises are the keys to improve RIC.
