摘要

提高区域创新绩效是增强国家创新体系效能的重要实现路径。网络位置对创新绩效错综复杂的影响作用也一直是学者关注的焦点。本文利用知识基础观弥补网络位置理论对资源价值关注不足的局限性,以差异化知识基础衡量资源价值,采用负二项回归模型和中国2001年至2020年跨区域合作专利数据实证检验网络位置、差异化知识基础和区域创新绩效的关系。研究发现:用结构洞和中心度衡量网络位置,结构洞与区域创新绩效呈“U型”曲线关系,且与差异化知识基础的交互效应显著;中心度与区域创新绩效呈“倒U型”曲线关系,与差异化知识基础的交互效应不显著;差异化知识基础正向促进区域创新绩效。政府应该通过鼓励创新主体紧密合作、促进产业结构多元化、建立创新绩效评估机制等措施推动区域创新绩效长效提升。本研究从资源价值视角丰富了网络位置与区域创新绩效关系的研究,为各地区如何利用跨区域合作赋能区域创新高质量发展提供重要政策启示。

Abstract

As an important part of national innovation, improving regional innovation performance is of great significance in enhancing the effectiveness of the national innovation system and supporting new breakthroughs in high-quality economic development. The intricate influence of network position on innovation performance has always been the focus of scholar's attention, and previous studies have found that network position has a facilitating, inhibiting and nonlinear relationship on innovation performance. To bridge the gap between the theories, an attempt is made to deepen the understanding of the relationship between network position and differentiated knowledge base on regional innovation performance using the knowledge base view. For the network position theory, drawing on the knowledge base view literature that "heterogeneous knowledge is more valuable", we measured the scale of knowledge value in the network from the perspective of heterogeneous knowledge and incorporated the knowledge value into the research framework of network position and regional innovation performance. For the theory of differentiated knowledge base, we constructed indicators of "differentiated knowledge base" based on the network perspective and the view of knowledge bases and established the "relevant" relationship with external knowledge to enrich the research on relevant diversification in differentiated knowledge base.

Based on Chinese patent data, the panel negative binomial regression method was used to analyze the non-linear effects and interactions of network position and differentiated knowledge base on regional innovation performance. The study found that: (1) structural hole has a "U-shaped" curve relationship with regional innovation performance, and the interaction effect with differentiated knowledge base is significant; (2) centrality has an "inverted U-shaped" curve relationship with regional innovation performance, and the interaction effect with differentiated knowledge base is not significant; and (3) differentiated knowledge base positively promote regional innovation performance. The significant difference between the interaction effects of network position and differentiated knowledge base on regional innovation performance suggests that the impact of the value of resources acquired through network position on regional innovation performance cannot be ignored.

The study has offered several insights. First, when formulating regional innovation policies, the government should consider the network position between regions and its impact on innovation performance. Encouraging interregional firms and academic institutions to strengthen ties and moderately increase regional centrality in the network can enhance innovation. Second, the government should view the differentiated knowledge base as a key driver of innovation. By diversifying the industrial structure and creating open innovation platforms, regions can integrate diverse knowledge and resources, thus boosting innovation. Lastly, a comprehensive innovation performance evaluation mechanism should be established. Monitoring and optimizing the network position and knowledge base can lead to overall regional innovation improvement.

摘要
网络范式的兴起引起了经济地理学者对于同网络结构相关的知识流动和创新产出的关注。基于“网络资本”视角,以国家知识产权局2014年中国292个地级以上城市间合作发明专利信息为原始数据,借助Ucinet、ArcGIS、SPSS等分析工具,刻画中国城市创新网络结构,间接测度创新网络资本,评价城市创新能力,进而对网络资本与城市创新关系进行探讨。研究表明:① 城市创新网络具有小世界特征和择优连接性,培育网络中心城市和创新城市群有益于优化创新网络结构,增加网络资本;② 城市创新网络空间格局呈现京津、宁沪、广深、成都等核心节点构成的菱形结构,城市创新能力空间格局与“结构性网络资本”空间分布较为一致;③ 网络资本与城市创新在0.01的水平上显著相关,据此认为,网络结构以及由此产生的网络结构资本影响城市创新能力。研究结论可为创新型城市建设和跨区域创新网络构建提供一定的参考。

To assess the effects of a firm's network of relations on innovation, this paper elaborates a theoretical framework that relates three aspects of a firm's ego network—direct ties, indirect ties, and structural holes (disconnections between a firm's partners)—to the firm's subsequent innovation output. It posits that direct and indirect ties both have a positive impact on innovation but that the impact of indirect ties is moderated by the number of a firm's direct ties. Structural holes are proposed to have both positive and negative influences on subsequent innovation. Results from a longitudinal study of firms in the international chemicals industry indicate support for the predictions on direct and indirect ties, but in the interfirm collaboration network, increasing structural holes has a negative effect on innovation. Among the implications for interorganizational network theory is that the optimal structure of interfirm networks depends on the objectives of the network members.

Whereas recent research on organizational innovation suggests that there is an ecology of roles supporting the innovation process, the majority of network research has concentrated on the role of inventors. In this paper, we contribute to research on organizational innovation by studying the social structural conditions conducive to individuals supporting, facilitating, and promoting the innovativeness of their colleagues—a role we refer to as catalysts of innovation. We consider an individual’s network position and the type of knowledge available to her through her network as key enabling conditions. We argue that the unique configuration of having access to diverse knowledge through a closed network enables individuals to act as innovation catalysts. Based on a study of 276 researchers in the research and development division of a large multinational high-tech company, we find strong support for our prediction and demonstrate that catalysts make important contributions to the innovative outputs of other researchers in terms of their colleagues’ patent applications.

摘要
借鉴态势理论,通过技术生态位“态”的分析,从量上衡量节点的技术创新能力,通过技术生态位“势”的分析,从增长率上衡量节点技术创新能力对网络环境的潜在影响力。运用社会网络分析法,以2003-2015年间移动通讯终端联合申请发明专利数据为样本,分析不同时期移动通讯终端创新网络的演化规律,研究发现移动通讯终端创新网络结构由原来松散型、简单型逐渐向紧凑型和复杂型演化。在此基础上,计算了网络演化的结构特征值,对网络结构与技术生态位“态”和技术生态位“势”的关系进行了回归分析,实证结果发现:度数中心度与技术生态位“态”呈倒U型关系;度数中心度、结构洞和关系强度与技术生态位“势”均呈倒U型关系。
CAO Xing, LI Wen. An empirical analysis on impacts of structural evolution of innovation networks on technological niches[J]. Studies in Science of Science, 2017, 35(5): 792-800.
Based on ecostate-ecorole theory, technological innovation capabilities of nodes are quantitatively measured by analyzing “ecostate” of technological niches, and their potential impacts upon network environment are measured from the perspective of their growth by analyzing “ecorole” of technological niches. With the application of social network analysis, the data on joint applications for inventions and patents in mobile communication terminals from 2003 to 2015 are sampled to analyze the structural evolution laws of the mobile communication terminal innovation network in different periods. It is found that original loose and simple networks have gradually evolved into compact and complicated ones. Subsequently, this paper calculates the characteristic values of the structurally evolved networks, constructs regression models to analyze relationships between network structures and “ecostate” and “ecorole” of technological niches. The empirical results suggest that inverted U-shaped relationships exist between degree centrality and “ecostate” of technological niches. The degree centrality, structural holes and tie strength are also discovered to have such relationships with the “ecorole” of technological niches.

A small-world simulation model of a regional innovation system combining the strength of the intersubject relationship of the regional innovation system with the loosely coupled system is constructed. We use a simulation to observe knowledge flow within the regional innovation system under relationships of varying strength. The results show that when the relationship between the subjects of the regional innovation system reaches a certain strength, the system will exhibit high module independence and high network integrity, forming a loosely coupled system. The knowledge flow in the system exhibits the emergence of a fast flow rate, a high mean value and little variance. When relationship strength is at other levels, the emergence of knowledge cannot be identified.

摘要
以中心城市和城市群为主要载体的空间发展模式是推动我国区域协调发展的关键。本文从城市创新的视角出发,基于双重差分,以十九大城市群共210个城市为研究对象,实证分析了国家中心城市的建设对城市群创新能力的影响效应,并利用中介方法探讨了其作用路径。研究结果表明:国家中心城市的建设确实有利于城市群创新能力的提升,基于企业、产业、城市等不同层面数据和不同检验方法的估计,结果依然保持稳健。异质性分析表明:国家中心城市建设对东部沿海地区城市群创新能力提升效应高于内陆中西部地区,国家中心城市规模越大对城市群创新能力提升效应越明显,国家中心城市建设对城市群技术密集型行业创新能力的提升效应要高于非技术密集型行业。影响机制表明:国家中心城市建设通过促进城市群功能分工、知识溢出、市场可达性和金融集聚度等途径影响城市群创新能力。进一步研究表明:空间距离是影响国家中心城市建设对城市群创新能力提升的重要因素,国家中心城市建设对城市群创新能力的提升效应与空间距离呈现倒“U”型关系。同时,国家中心城市建设对城市群创新能力提升效应取决于城市群中国家中心城市的发展质量,而不是拥有的数量。为此,要坚持以国家中心城市为核心推动城市群合理分工,积极提升国家中心城市综合实力,平衡国家中心城市的辐射效应和虹吸效应,合理规划国家中心城市的空间布局。
MA Weibiao, WU Yuming. Does the construction of national central cities promote the innovation of urban agglomerations? Taking the nineteen urban agglomerations as an example[J]. Studies in Science of Science, 2023, 41(3): 534-546.
The spatial development model with central cities and urban agglomerations as the main carriers is the key to promote coordinated regional development in our country. This paper starts from the perspective of city innovation, based on the method of difference in difference, and takes 210 cities of 19 urban agglomerations as the research object, empirically analyzes the effect of the construction of national central cities on the innovation ability of urban agglomerations, and uses intermediary methods to explore its mechanisms. The research results show that the construction of national central cities is conducive to the improvement of the innovation ability of urban agglomerations. And the results still remain robust by using different levels of data such as enterprises, industries, cities and different testing methods. The heterogeneity results show that the construction of national central cities has a higher effect on the innovation ability of urban agglomerations in eastern areas than in central and western regions; the larger the scale of national central cities expands, the more obvious the effect on improving the innovation ability of urban agglomerations is; the construction of national central cities has more effects on the innovation ability of technology-intensive industries than that of non-technology-intensive industries. The influence mechanisms indicate that the construction of national central cities affects the innovation ability of urban agglomerations by promoting the division of functions of urban agglomerations, knowledge spillover, market accessibility, and financial agglomeration. Further research shows that spatial distance is an important factor that affects the improvement of the innovation ability of urban agglomerations by the construction of national central cities. The effect of the construction of national central cities on the innovation ability of urban agglomerations has an inverted U-shaped relationship with spatial distance. At the same time, the effect of the construction of national central cities on the innovation ability of urban agglomerations depends on the development quality of the national central cities in the urban agglomerations, rather than the number of them. Therefore, we must adhere to the national center as the core to promote the rational division of labor in urban agglomerations, actively enhance the comprehensive strength of national central cities, balance the radiation effect and siphon effect of national central cities, and rationally plan the spatial layout of national central cities.
