Abstract

Urban development thrives from technology inflows, which refers to the transfer of high-value technology from various cities to local recipients. The asymmetry of technical information—rooted in the tacit knowledge inherent in technology—mandates that technology transfer is heavily dependent on interactions and communication among talented individuals. This study examines the effect of China's high-speed railway (HSR) on technology inflow, with an emphasis on talent interaction in the technology transfer process. The findings suggest that HSR mitigates cross-city commuting costs and facilitates face-to-face interactions between talent, thereby fostering an increase in technology inflows to various cities. “Talent” use HSR to transfer knowledge to cities teeming with such talent resources. Concurrently, areas with robust intellectual property rights protection witness an upsurge in intercity technology transfer via HSR. This study elucidates the macro-mechanism of urban technology flow from the perspective of public transportation offering valuable insights for technology market infrastructure and services.

高铁之后的技术流入：来自中国城市的证据

城市发展得益于技术流入，技术流入指的是从各个城市向当地接受者转移高价值技术。技术信息的不对称根植于技术中固有的隐性知识，这就要求技术转让严重依赖于有才能的个人之间的互动和沟通。本研究考察了中国高铁对技术流入的影响，重点考察了技术转移过程中的人才互动。研究结果表明，高铁降低了跨城市通勤成本，促进了人才之间的面对面互动，从而促进了技术流入各个城市的增加。“人才”利用高铁将知识转移到拥有这些人才资源的城市。与此同时，在知识产权保护力度较强的地区，通过高铁进行城际技术转让的热潮正在兴起。本研究从公共交通角度阐释了城市技术流动的宏观机制，为技术市场、基础设施和服务提供了有价值的见解。
