Research On Evaluation Of Innovation Efficiency And Cooperative Development Of Urban Agglomeration In The Middle Reaches Of Yangtze River

Collaborative innovation is an open form that integrates the complementary resources and advantages of various participating entities—governments,enterprises,research institutes,universities,and intermediaries,to achieve in-depth cooperation among interdisciplinary,cross-sectoral and cross-industry organizations.With emerging production factors such as information,knowledge,and technology as the main driving forces for development,we need to change the model of relying on traditional resources such as capital investment,labor input,and land input to create social economic benefits,so as to build an innovative development model of collaborative and interactive multi-subjects.Regional collaborative innovation is to break the boundaries of regional development,build a non-linear,open innovation network,maximize the integration of regional production factors,it is the most advanced form of interactive development among regions;also,it is the important links to development the original innovation,integrated innovation,and introduction—digestion—re-innovation.Collaborative innovation within the region will break the gap between the scale of development and the technological capabilities.At first,this article introduces the background of the topic selection briefly,and then analyzes the innovation efficiency within the urban agglomeration quantitatively on the premise of combing domestic and foreign research results on collaborative innovation development.Based on this,it discusses the path and countermeasures of collaborative innovation of urban agglomeration.It pointed out that six factors,including the R&D input of various cities,the intensity of investment in R&D expenditures,the input of scientific research funds,the proportion of scientific research personnel at the end of the year,the number of science and technology institutions,the number of high-tech companies,are input indicators affecting the efficiency of urban agglomeration innovation.Also,set the output indicators as the regional GDP,the total output value of industrial enterprises on the regulations,the added value of high-tech industries,the amount of school-industry joint application for patent grants,and the contract volume of technology market contracts.It will establish an evaluation index system for the innovation development of urban agglomerations.Using the traditional DEA method to study 28 prefectures in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River's(Cities of Xiantao,Tianmen,and Qianjiang could not be analyzed due to lack of datas,so they were abandoned.)innovation and development efficiency from 2007 to 2016.In order to more accurately understand the evolution characteristics and development status of collaborative innovation development in cities over time.The results show that although the innovation and development of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are still at the primary level,the second stage(2012-2016)of collaborative innovation in all provinces has been further improved compared to the first phase(2007-2011).The gap of collaborative innovation among the provinces has further narrowed,and the synergy innovation development effect in Jiangxi Province is the most significant,The gap among jiangxi province and the Hubei Province,Hunan Province has been greatly reduced.In the period from 2007 to 2011,the order of the province's innovation development in the three provinces was ranked from high to low as Hunan,Jiangxi,and Hubei;between 2012 and 2016,the province's innovation development balance was ranked from high to low as Jiangxi,Hunan,and Hubei.During the period of 2012-2016,the gap between innovation and development in various cities in Hubei Province has been amplified and the development polarization is more serious.In the ten years,the growth rate of innovation and development efficiency has significantly increased: Ezhou City,Xianning City,Liyang City,Yichang City,Jingmen City,Xiangtan City,and Jingdezhen City;significant decline in beneficial cities:Changde City,Zhuzhou City,Hengyang City,Jiujiang City,Fuzhou City;other cities remain relatively stable.At last,using a qualitative analysis of the status quo of collaborative innovation of urban agglomerations in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.A comparative analysis of urban agglomerations in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomerations,Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations,and the Pearl River Delta agglomerations shows that the urban agglomerations in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are still developing,there still exists many short boards.Seeking a more efficient development path by comparison,and proposes countermeasures and suggestions that are targeted while indicating the problems in the development of collaborative innovation.
