Abstract

University-industry collaboration in R&D has great potential as a partnership that promotes sustainable development. This article aims to confirm that university-industry collaboration in R&D contributes to reducing the size of informal economy and strengthening sustainable development. Correlation and causal analysis are applied to achieve this goal: Shapiro-Wilk test, Pearson’s and Spearman correlation methods, vector autoregression and Granger causality test are used on the basis of STATA software for a cross-country sample of 10 countries with the highest Sustainable Development Index over 2011-2018. Research results show that stronger university-industry R&D collaboration contributes to more robust sustainable development in 6 out of 10 sample countries and shrinking informal economy in 4 out of 10 countries. In turn, growth of the informal economy leads to a decrease in university-industry R&D collaboration in 5 out of 10 countries and inhibits sustainable development in 7 out of 10 countries. In conclusion, policymakers should transform the national policy and strategy to emphasize and strengthen R&D cooperation between the universities and the industry.

产学研合作，减少非正规经济，加强可持续发展

作为促进可持续发展的伙伴关系，大学与企业在研发方面的合作具有巨大的潜力。本文旨在证实产学研合作有助于缩小非正规经济规模，促进可持续发展。为了实现这一目标，我们运用了相关分析和因果分析:基于STATA软件，对2011-2018年可持续发展指数最高的10个国家的跨国样本进行了Shapiro-Wilk检验、Pearson’s和Spearman相关方法、向量自回归和格兰杰因果检验。研究结果表明，在10个样本国家中，有6个国家加强了大学与产业的研发合作，促进了更强劲的可持续发展，在10个样本国家中有4个国家促进了非正规经济的萎缩。反过来，非正规经济的增长导致10个国家中有5个国家的大学-工业研发合作减少，并抑制了7个国家的可持续发展。综上所述，决策者应转变国家政策和战略，重视和加强高校与产业界的研发合作。
