摘要

基础研究具有前瞻性和战略性,是孕育原始创新的源泉,同时也面临高风险和高不确定性,企业开展基础研究能否提升产品创新绩效一直备受争议。本文以2007—2022年中国医药制造企业为样本,建立面板负二项模型,检验纯基础研究和应用导向型基础研究与企业产品创新绩效的关系,以及吸收能力和地区知识产权保护的调节作用。研究发现:(1)纯基础研究与企业产品创新绩效存在U型关系,应用导向型基础研究对企业产品创新绩效具有显著正向影响。(2)企业吸收能力越弱,纯基础研究与产品创新绩效U型曲线的形状越扁平,应用导向型基础研究对产品创新绩效的促进作用越弱。(3)地区知识产权保护强度越高,纯基础研究与企业产品创新绩效U型曲线的形状越陡峭,应用导向型基础研究对企业产品创新绩效的促进作用越强。研究结果揭示了不同类型基础研究对企业产品创新绩效的影响效果和边界条件,对企业提升产品创新绩效具有一定的启示。

Abstract

Basic research is forward-looking and strategic, which is not only a source of original innovation, but also faces high risk and uncertainty, and it has been controversial whether enterprises can improve their product innovation performance by conducting basic research. Using a sample of Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises from 2007-2022, this paper developed a panel negative binomial model to test the relationship between pure and application-oriented basic research and product innovation performance of enterprises, as well as the moderating effects of absorptive capacity and regional intellectual property protection (IPP). The findings indicated that (1) there is a U-shaped relationship between pure basic research and firm product innovation performance, and application-oriented basic research has a significant positive impact on firm product innovation performance. (2) The weaker the enterprises' absorptive capacity, the flatter the shape of the U-curve between pure basic research and firm product innovation performance, and the weaker the effect of application-oriented basic research on firm product innovation performance. (3) The higher the intensity of regional IPP, the steeper the shape of the U-curve between pure basic research and firm product innovation performance, and the stronger the effect of application-oriented basic research on firm product innovation performance. The results of the study has revealed the impact and boundary conditions of different types of basic research on firm product innovation performance, which have implications for enterprises to improve their product innovation performance.

Previous research has expressed concerns about firms engaging less in basic research. We contribute to this debate by studying trends in the scientific publishing activities of firms located in Germany. Our results indicate that the firms’ aggregate volume of scientific publications stayed constant between 2008 and 2016. However, the number and share of publishing firms declined, and publication activities became more concentrated among publishing firms. Beyond that, we observe positive trends in publishing in basic research journals compared to journals focused on applied research, and publishing in collaboration with academic partners compared to publishing alone. Thus, our results paint an ambiguous picture. While they do not confirm a decrease in firms’ basic research engagement in the aggregate, the figures document a concentration of publishing activities on fewer firms. We argue that this concentration of basic research activities in firms may pose a threat to the longer-term innovativeness of the German economy.

Using data on 800,000 corporate publications and patent citations to these publications between 1980 and 2015, we study how corporate investment in research is linked to its use in the firm’s inventions, and to spillovers to rivals. We find that private returns to corporate research depend on the balance between two opposing forces: the benefits from the use of science in own downstream inventions, and the costs of spillovers to rivals. Consistent with this, firms produce more research when it is used internally, but less research when it is used by rivals. As firms become more sensitive to rivals using their science, they are likely to reduce the share of research in R&D. (JEL D22, D25, G31, I23, O31, O33, O34)

摘要

基础研究可以为企业带来大量新颖性知识，是企业提升原始创新能力、构建竞争优势的重要支撑。基于知识理论，分析企业基础研究广度和深度对技术创新绩效的影响，并考察企业桥接科学家的中介作用及知识整合能力的调节效应。在此基础上，利用2009—2019年科学导向型中国生物制药行业80家企业专利申请和SCI论文发表数据进行实证检验。结果表明：企业基础研究广度对技术创新绩效具有正向影响，而基础研究深度与技术创新绩效之间呈现倒U型关系；企业桥接科学家在基础研究广度、深度与技术创新绩效之间发挥部分中介作用。同时，企业技术知识整合能力可以强化基础研究广度与技术创新绩效间的正向关系，削弱基础研究深度与技术创新绩效间的倒U型关系。
