技术溢出影响企业的技术创新产出吗？——基于数字技术应用与市场竞争的联合调节效应

Do Technology Spillovers Affect Technological Innovation Outputs: The Joint Moderating Effect of Digital Technology Application and Market Competition

摘要:

企业作为创新主体,其技术创新活动的开展离不开与其他企业的技术互动,更深受技术溢出效应的影响。本文利用中国 2010—2021 年 3737 家沪深 A 股上市企业的相关数据,构建面板模型分析企业间技术溢出对溢入企业技术创新产出的影响,并检验数字技术应用和市场竞争对二者关系的调节作用及联合调节效应。研究结果表明,企业间的技术溢出有助于提高溢入企业的技术创新产出,数字技术应用和市场竞争均对其起到正向调节作用;数字技术应用的调节作用还依赖于市场竞争程度。进一步分析中发现,技术溢出对溢入企业技术创新产出的正向作用在国有企业、高新技术行业、高经济发展水平地区及竞争性企业中更显著。研究结论为解释企业间技术溢出与溢入企业技术创新产出的关系提供了微观证据,为政府和企业提供了实际的借鉴意义。

Abstract:

As main innovation entities, firms cannot be separated from technological interaction with other firms in carrying out their technological innovation, and are more deeply influenced by the technology spillover effect. Based on data of 3737 Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed firms in China from 2010 to 2021, a panel model was constructed to analyze the impact of inter-firm technology spillovers and technological innovation outputs of technology spillover-receiving firms, and to examine the moderating effects of digital technology application and market competition on the relationship between them, as well as their joint moderating effect. The results show that inter-firm technology spillovers contribute to improving the technological innovation outputs of spillover-receiving firms. Both digital technology application and market competition exert a positive moderating effect on this relationship. Additionally, the moderating effect of digital technology application also depends on the market competition. In a further analysis, the positive effect of inter-firm technology spillovers on the technological innovation outputs of spillover-receiving firms is found to be more pronounced among state-owned enterprises, high-tech industries, regions with high levels of economic development, and inter-competitive firms. It findings provide micro-level evidence for explaining the relationship between inter-firm technology spillovers and technological innovation outputs of spillover-receiving firms, and provide practical implications for the governments and firms.
