摘要

技术不平等对区域发展差距的影响是一个持续争论的主题。我们的研究结果表明，工业机器人进口的区域差异显著增加，年均增长率为10.46%，而区域创新的差异略有下降，约为1%。利用二次分配过程（QAP）回归分析，我们证实了机器人进口区域差异的扩大可以缩小区域创新差距的假设。此外，地方资本结构对机器人技术在降低区域创新差异方面的有利影响具有强烈的调节作用。国家所有权减轻了这种影响，而地区性外资则加强了这种影响。本研究为中国区域经济的可持续发展提供了理论洞见和政策实践启示。

Industrial robot diffusion and regional innovation disparities

The impact of technology inequality on regional development disparities is a subject of ongoing debate. Our results show that regional disparities in industrial robot imports have increased significantly, with an average annual growth rate of 10.46 %, while disparities in regional innovation have slightly declined by approximately 1 %. Using quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) regression analysis, we confirm the hypothesis that increasing regional disparities in robot imports can narrow the regional innovation gaps. Furthermore, the local capital structure strongly moderates the beneficial impact of robotics on reducing the regional innovation disparities. State ownership lessens this impact, whereas regional foreign capital strengthens it. This study offers both theoretical insights and practical policy implications for the sustainable development of China's regional economy.

期刊介绍： Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
