Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of government subsidies on research and development (R&D) investment and their wider economic effects. Moreover, this paper examines the moderating effect of regional innovation network level on the relationship between R&D investment and balanced economic development. The empirical analysis employs an econometric model using a panel of Chinese provincial data from 2014 to 2020. The results indicate that R&D investment has a significant single threshold effect on regional balanced economic development. As government subsidies exceed a first threshold value, the effect of R&D investment increases on regional balanced economic development. Regional innovation network level strengthens the positive effect of R&D investment on regional balanced economic development. The findings have important insights regarding the role of R&D investment in promoting regional balanced economic development in an innovative collaboration context and improve our understanding of the role of government subsidies for the relationship between R&D investment and regional balanced economic development.
