长三角绿色技术创新网络结构特征与优化策略

绿色技术创新作为区域技术创新体系的重要组成部分,是维持区域发展可持续性、增强区域竞争优势的重要驱动力.基于区域一体化的研究视角,通过采集长三角绿色技术专利合作及绿色技术转移数据,运用Gephi复杂网络分析方法,对长三角绿色技术创新网络进行结构分析.结果 表明:(1)长三角绿色技术创新网络发育程度较低,大量城市在绿色技术创新网络中较边缘化;(2)绿色技术创新依赖创新主体间知识互动,地理邻近促进了创新合作行为的产生和知识的扩散;(3)长三角绿色技术创新网络"强-强联系"与"核心-边缘"结构特征明显,绿色技术专利合作网络呈现"一超多强"的多中心格局,绿色技术转让网络呈现单中心格局;(4)区域一体化下,长三角绿色技术创新网络兼具邻近性和等级性特征,不同类型城市参与创新网络应有差异;进而,提出长三角绿色技术创新网络优化策略.创新点在于:建立了区域一体化与技术创新网络的关联,探讨了绿色技术创新的空间组织形式,强调了地理邻近对于绿色技术创新网络的重要性.

Institutional quality,financial development and sustainable economic growth among lower income countries

This article postulates strong endogenous relationships in lower income countries between institutional quality, financial development and sustained economic growth. These associations were investigated using the vector-error correction model (VECM) and Granger causality method for a sample of 79 countries from 2005 to 2022. The findings show that (1) these variables reinforce each other in the short run. (2) In the long run, both institutional quality and financial development can fuel economic growth. (3) The positive effect of institutional quality on economic growth is greater than that of financial development. Policy implications of these findings are that careful attention should be paid to co-development policies to enhance the institutional quality and the financial system in these economies. Policies should also consider economic growth strategies to enable sustainable economic growth rates.
