摘要： By precipitating a clustering effect and encouraging the establishment of links among firms and academic and research institutions (the so-called triple helix), science parks are expected to have both direct and indirect effects on promoting regional technological capacity. Based on a provincial-level panel dataset over the 1997-2009 period together with adopting patents as an indicator of innovative capacity, this study's empirical results show that science parks, in terms of various measures, indeed have a significantly positive impact on regional patenting. More importantly, science parks play a key role in coordinating research and development (R&D) collaboration across various R&D performers within the region and indirectly contribute to upgrading the regional technological ladder. Moreover, we find a positive innovation-enhancing effect brought about by R&D cooperation between industries and universities, rather than research institutes, highlighting both the importance and inherent problems of China's regional innovation systems. 出版者： London: Routledge 出版日期： 2014-04-03 出處： Journal of the Asia Pacific economy, 2014-04, Vol.19 (2), p.333-352 資源來源： Taylor & Francis Journals Auto-Holdings Collection 版權： 2014 Taylor & Francis 2014 版權： Copyright Routledge 2014 識別號： ISSN: 1354-7860 識別號： EISSN: 1469-9648 識別號： DOI: 10.1080/13547860.2014.880285
