Inovation Effect Evaluation Of China's High-tech Zone Policy Based On Macro And Micro Data

Since the implementation of the national high-tech zone policy in the 1990 s,it has achieved remarkable results.As an important “policy test field”,it has greatly promoted the rapid development of the high-tech industry.The high-tech zone policy has promoted regional economic growth since it implemented,and it has given rise to new vitality in regional innovation and explored new economic development models,it has brought about a new wave of innovation across the country.The existing research literature focuses on issues including the development patterns of national high-tech zones and the innovation performance of national high-tech zones.However,it is less concerned about the impact of national high-tech zones on the external environment as a policy.Based on macro and micro perspectives,this paper systematically analyzes the impact of national high-tech zones on regional innovation and corporate innovation under the guide of government intervention theory and innovation theory.The research conclusions of this paper are as follows: Firstly,the micro-level research indicated that enterprises entering the national high-tech zones can effectively improve their own innovation performance.Compared with the provincial-level high-tech zones,entering the national high-tech zones will have a more significant effect on the improvement of corporate innovation performance.In addition,the impact of the high-tech zone policy on corporate innovation has obvious corporate heterogeneity.Private enterprises in start-up period which are small benefit the most from the "settled behavior".However,on the macro level,it is found that the national-level high-tech zone policy has inconsistent innovation effects among different levels of cities and between different regions: Specifically,the national-level high-tech zone policy has a positive effect on the innovation performance of big cities,while the small and medium-sized cities have opposite results.There is a positive effect on the innovation performance of cities in the eastern region,while the results of central and western cities are opposite.The conclusions of the study have profound policy implications: Firstly,the country needs to spare no effort to promote the policies of the national high-tech zones and actively optimize the investment environment.Secondly,the government should adjust the local policies for different regions and cities different scales of cities according to local conditions.Finally,the high-tech zones should strengthen innovation of the management system,and the government should perform the specific construction functions of the high-tech zones to promote the development of high-tech industries and to lead the upgrading and transformation of industries.
