Research On Innovation-driven Development Capability In Qinghai Province

As an advanced stage of economic development,innovation-driven is the fate of the country and the foundation of regional development.Qinghai Province is located in the multi-ethnic and underdeveloped western hinterland.Strengthening the ability of innovation-driven development is the only way to help Qinghai Province achieve the goal of “one synchronization,four more” and finally realize high-quality development.On the basis of combing Schumpeter's innovation theory,Porter's innovationdriven theory,modern economic growth theory and innovation system theory,this paper defines the connotation of innovation-driven development system,and designs the innovation-driven development system including innovative environment,innovative inputs,innovative outputs and innovative performance.Based on this,the paper constructs an innovation-driven development capability evaluation index system with four first-level indicators and 30 third-level indicators,then have an empirical analysis in Qinghai Province from horizontal and vertical perspectives.The empirical results show that:(1)The innovation-driven development capability of Qinghai Province ranks last in the western region.In terms of innovation-driven development environment,the environmental construction of Qinghai is the worst,mainly due to the large gap between education and opening up with other provinces.In terms of investment in innovation resources,the investment capacity for innovation resources of Qinghai Province ranks last in the western region.The specific performance is that the construction of innovation platforms is relatively lagging behind,and the investment in innovative talents and innovation funds is weak.In terms of output of innovation results,the knowledge output,of Qinghai Province,including scientific papers and patents,has a very large gap with other provinces,and the high-tech industry lacks core competitiveness.In terms of innovation performance,Qinghai Province ranks tenth in the western region,mainly because the current situation of poor environment,low investment in innovation,and low innovation output is unlikely to drive the optimization of industrial structure,the improvement of people's livelihood and the protection of the ecological environment.(2)Judging from the changes in the innovation-driven development capability of Qinghai Province from 2006 to 2016,the relatively stable development of innovation-driven development capability in Qinghai province in the past 10 years is still relatively optimistic.(3)Qinghai Province did not pay attention to the full chain of innovation-driven development in the process of development.On the one hand,there is a problem of disconnection between R&D and application,and on the other hand,innovation performance is not coordinated with the environment,input,and output.It has severely restricted the ability of innovation-driven development in Qinghai Province.In order to enhance the innovation-driven development capability of Qinghai Province and provide reference for other underdeveloped regions,combining the actual situation of Qinghai Province,this paper puts forward some policy measures that can be implemented concretely from optimizing environment,increasing investment and promoting the construction of collaborative innovation system to solve the problems of Qinghai Province in the process of achieving high-quality development.
