从研发走向转化——数字生态对区域创新效率的提升路径研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 区域创新是推动国家经济发展和科技自立自强的核心动力，然而研发与转化衔接不畅等问题仍制约着创新绩效的全面提升。基于复杂经济视角，从数字生态的系统性和结构特征出发，构建包含数字基础、数字能力与数字应用的内外分异框架，运用两阶段DEA与两步fsQCA方法，对中国30个省份（不含港澳台，且西藏地区因数据不全，未纳入统计）的数字生态与区域创新效率进行组态分析与路径挖掘。研究发现：①数字生态中单一要素并非提升创新效率的必要条件，但存在效率提升的超子集。②数字政府与数字社会的协同是提高研发效率的关键，数字政府在提高技术转化效率中发挥了核心作用。③数字应用重心调整与数字政府作用深化是衔接研发和转化的两大机制。④创新效率的提升逻辑体现为需求拉动重组，制度保障转化。本研究从系统和结构视角丰富了数字生态影响创新效率的认知与应用，为区域差异化推进数字生态建设提供了参考和借鉴。

Abstract: Regional innovation is a core driver of national economic development and technological self-reliance. However, weak linkages between R&D and technology commercialization still constrain overall innovation performance. From a complex economics perspective, this study constructs a systemic and structural framework of the digital ecosystem, distinguishing digital infrastructure, digital capabilities, and digital applications. Using a two-stage DEA and a two-step fsQCA, we conduct a configurational analysis of digital ecosystems and regional innovation efficiency across 30 Chinese provinces (Excluding the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions of China; Xizang is not included in the statistics due to incomplete data). The findings show that: (1) no single digital ecosystem element is a necessary condition for improving innovation efficiency, but efficiency-enhancing supersets do exist; (2) coordination between digital government and digital society is key to R&D efficiency, while digital government plays a core role in technology commercialization efficiency; (3) shifts in digital application focus and the deepening role of digital government are the two main mechanisms linking R&D and commercialization; (4) innovation efficiency improvement follows a logic of demand-driven restructuring and institution-enabled commercialization. This study enriches the understanding of the relationship between digital ecosystems and innovation efficiency from a systemic and structural perspective and provides references for regionally differentiated digital ecosystem development.
