Abstract

Abstract It is increasingly emphasized that firms’ innovation depends on external knowledge interaction in the field of economic geography. Global knowledge linkages and interaction plays crucial role in gaining competitive advantage for firms in developing countries because of their immature innovation systems, inspiring a wide academic interest around cross-border knowledge pipelines. However, the existing literature has been silent about the type in which firms employ cross-border knowledge pipelines and neglects the potential importance of firm’s ownership in this process. Using 2015 survey micro-data of 4685 Chinese firms in Zhangjiang National Innovation Demonstration Zone, we investigate how different types of cross-border knowledge pipelines indicated by foreign R&D investment and returnees influence firm’s innovation. The research highlights the positive effects of foreign R&D investment and returnees on firms’ patent innovation, while returnees exerts negative influence on firms’ product innovation. Moreover, there exists a complementary relation between foreign R&D investment and returnees in facilitating firm’s patent innovation. State ownership negatively affects the relationship between foreign R&D investment and firms’ patent innovation.
跨国知识管道与中国企业创新绩效:来自上海张江的证据
经济地理学领域越来越强调企业创新依赖于外部知识互动。由于发展中国家的创新体系不成熟,全球知识联系和互动在发展中国家企业获得竞争优势方面起着至关重要的作用,激发了对跨境知识管道的广泛学术兴趣。然而,现有文献对企业采用跨境知识管道的类型保持沉默,并忽视了企业所有权在这一过程中的潜在重要性。本文利用2015年张江国家自主创新示范区4685家中国企业的调查微观数据,考察了外资研发投入和海归所代表的不同类型跨境知识管道对企业创新的影响。研究发现,外资研发投入和海归对企业专利创新具有正向影响,而海归对企业产品创新具有负向影响。此外,国外研发投入与海归在促进企业专利创新方面存在互补关系。国有制对外资研发投入与企业专利创新之间的关系具有负向影响。
