高新技術(shù)區(qū)設立與地區(qū)創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)業(yè)(DID)
題目:Do Place-Based Policies Promote Local Innovation and Entrepreneurship(區(qū)域政策與地區(qū)創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)業(yè))
摘要:This paper explores how a prominent place-based policy in China, the national hightech zones, affects local innovation output and entrepreneurial activities. Making use of staggered establishments of national high-tech zones in various Chinese cities, we find that the establishment of national high-tech zones has positive effects on local innovation output and entrepreneurial activities. A number of additional tests suggest that the effects appear causal. Access to finance, reductions in administrative burdens, and talent cultivation are three plausible underlying economic channels. Our paper sheds new light on the evaluation of the effectiveness of China’s place-based policies.

研究問題:區(qū)域政策對于地區(qū)創(chuàng)新和創(chuàng)業(yè)活動的影響效應及其內(nèi)在機理
研究動機:已有研究從多角度探究了地區(qū)創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)業(yè)的影響因素,但是鮮有從區(qū)域政策的視角考察;發(fā)達國家的經(jīng)濟學家認為區(qū)域政策是無效的,因而不太支持區(qū)域政策,但從中國長期發(fā)展來看區(qū)域政策(類似特區(qū))非常重要,但是卻尚未探究“高新技術(shù)區(qū)”這一區(qū)域政策對創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)業(yè)的影響。
研究設計:漸進雙重差分法(DID),根據(jù)高新技術(shù)區(qū)的設立作為沖擊,設置虛擬變量。
研究貢獻:豐富了政府在經(jīng)濟發(fā)展作用的文獻,拓展了區(qū)域政策的經(jīng)濟后果研究
不一樣的點:文章對于DID運用過程中可能遇到的挑戰(zhàn)進行了詳細分析,針對性做了非常多的分析;渠道分析之后還做了對于渠道的解釋力度的說明,這是以前很少見過的,值得Mark
