Empirical Research On The Relationship Between Institutional Environment And Regional Science&Technology Innovation Ability

In the evolution of human development and social progress, scientific and technological innovation is always burdened with the important role. Scientific and technological innovation has accelerated industrial structure adjustment and technological upgrading of products, at the same time, it push forward the expansion of the local economy scale and the transformation of the regional competitive advantage, its ability and level is increasingly becoming a decisive factor to gain competitive advantage of the area and it is the core and fundamental of the socio-economic achieve development sustainable. Regional technological innovation capability not only from the internal level of activity of the main innovation of universities, research institutions and enterprises in the region, but also from a good institutional environment. The degree of social and economic development of China is imbalance, there is a larger gap in terms of resource endowments, governmental action, the main innovation in the region, and most gap does not appear to significantly reduced trend. For the different regions of the main innovation, their regions’ level of institutional environment factors such as market process, the degree of government intervention, the financial level of development and the rule of law are quite different, such differences will inevitably produce underestimated crucial influence to scientific and technological innovation capability of China’s different regions.This thesis regard our country’s special transition period as background, regard the relationship between the institutional environment and government scientific and technological innovation ability as the main line. Through theoretical analysis and empirical research, this study analysis the impact mechanism of the institutional environment to government science and technology innovation ability. This article is divided into six parts:the first chapter is the introduction, mainly on the research background, the significance of the topic, the research framework and technical route; Chapter II as the theoretical basis and a literature review discusses Schumpeter’s innovation theory, the theory of the regional innovation system, regional innovation network theory, the modern regional development theory, the evolution of economic theory and institutional economic theory, combing and synthesis the relevant literature; Chapter IE is the scientific and technological innovation ability evaluation study of the provincial-level administrative region in China. The four-level departure from the ability of scientific research, technological innovation ability, knowledge and technology flows and technological innovation, then build a systematic regional scientific and technological innovation evaluation system, and use factor analysis to evaluate the scientific and technological innovation capability of China’s provincial-level administrative regions Chapter IV researches the distribution characteristics of scientific and technological innovation capacity of the provincial administrative regions in our country, the technological innovation capacity of the provincial administrative regions classified using cluster analysis, drawing regional distribution feature maps of China’s scientific and technological innovation capability and analyzing the regional science and technology innovation capacity development trend. Chapter V researches the relationship between regional institutional environment and technological innovation capability, tested the relationship between government intervention, the level of the rule of law, the level of financial development, the market degree of scientific and technological achievements and institutional environment to the government’s scientific and technological innovation capability, found that the institutional environment improve is good for the improvement of scientific and technological innovation capacity; Chapter VI is the research conclusion and outlook, detailed review and summarize the results of this study. Proposed future research suggestions and ideas for the shortage surviving in the study in this article, and finally gives some policy recommendations to enhance the technological innovation capability.The major contributions of the dissertation are as follows:Firstly, this thesis has scientifically evaluated the scientific and technological innovation ability of the provincial administrative area in China. The thesis state out its point from the following four levels:scientific research ability, technical innovation ability, knowledge and technical flow as well as scientific and technological innovation, constructing a evaluation index system which consists of25indexes of regional scientific and technological innovation ability, evaluating the creative ability of science and technology of30provincial administrative area of our country by analysing5main factors such as extraction enterprise technology factor, technology innovation environment factor, scientific research and service factor, school&enterprises comprehensive innovation factor as well as technology and knowledge absorption factor. Secondly, from the perspective of economic geography, this thesis shows the distribution of scientific and technological innovation ability in China, which is concentrated mainly in the east. This thesis employs cluster analysis methodology to study the technology innovation capability of provincial-level administrative regions, dividing these regions into four categories, namely leading, advanced, medium and developing areas, offering a vivid picture of China’s regional distribution status of scientific and technological innovation, directly reflecting the unbalanced development in terms of geographic features of our country, which means significant differences remain to be a problem and technology innovation capability tends to be much more distinguished in the east.Finally, the empirical study finds that the system environment factor and the capacity of technological innovation are positively related, the improvement of system environment is conducive to the improvement of ability of innovation of science and technology.Based on our country30provincial administrative area panel data as the research object, from the four aspects of the government intervention level, the level of the rule of law, financial development level and the degree of marketization of scientific and technological achievements, this passage makes a deep research on the system environment and the relationship between the creative ability of science and technology. The empirical findings are as follows:the factor of the system environment has significant effect on scientific and technological innovation ability. There is a significant negative correlation between the degree of and government interference and the sci-technology innovation ability. The level of legal system, the financial development level and the marketing degree of scientific and technological achievements have a significant positive correlation with sci-technology innovation ability. That is, the lower the degree of and government interference, the higher the level of legal system, the financial development level and the marketing degree of scientific and technological achievements, the stronger the sci-technology innovation ability of the government.In a whole, the system environment and the sci-technology innovation ability have a significant positive correlation with each other:the improvement of the system environment may be beneficial to the promotion of the government sci-technology innovation ability.
