The impact of technological innovation input on innovation performance basedon the panel data of Chinese high-tech industries

Abstract

Abstract: The relationships between Technological Innovation Input (TII) and innovation performance are explored with the panel data collected from Chinese high-tech industries during the period of 1995-2008, the Pearson’s correlation analysis, modified function model of Griliches-Jaffe knowledge production, and multiple stepwise regression analysis method are used as the analysis methodology. The relationships among the entire high-tech industry and its subordinate five typical industries are compared and analyzed. The results indicate that firstly, there are different relationships between the entire high-tech industry and subordinate industries as well as among subordinate industries; secondly, even with the same factor of TII, there are different effects on initial and final innovation performance in different subordinate industry; thirdly, both R&D input and non R&D input have a positive impact on innovation performance, and the high input is not always brings high performance in different industries. Finally, some policy suggestions and managerial implications are provided on how to improve the innovation performance of Chinese high-tech industry.

Key words: TII, innovation performance, high-tech industry, Griliches-Jaffe knowledge production function, stepwise regression analysis
