Abstract:
By means of the panel data from high-tech industries of 31 Chinese provincesin 2000-2011, this paper examinesthe effects of specialization, diversity and spatial spillovers and marketcompetition on Chinesehigh-tech industrial innovation by spatial lag panel data model based on the Marshalland Jacobsexternality theory and taken account of spatial correlations. The main findings of this study are drawn as follows. Firstly, the impact of R&D capital on Chinese high-tech industrial innovation is positive and statistically significant. Secondly,positive impacts of MarshallSpillover are observed in the regional innovation of high-tech industry,while the effects of Jacobs spillover on high-tech industry are different between industries. However, marketcompetition is not significant.
