Research on the Threshold Effect of R&D,FDI and Domestic Innovation Capability:Based on the Regional Heterogeneity of Intellectual Property Protection

Abstract

Abstract:

Drawing upon the 2002-2013 Panel Data at the province-level in China and considering the influence of R&D input and FDI inflows,this paper uses nonlinear panel threshold regression to introduce the nonlinear threshold nature of intellectual property protection into the model and explores the mechanism between regional R&D input and FDI inflows and the domestic innovation capability.The research shows that the impact of regional R&D input on innovation capability is not limited to simple linear relationship or U-shaped and inverted U-shaped framework,but also have the complex nonlinear feature of the three thresholds of intellectual property protection;Secondly,the impact of regional FDI inflows on innovation capability is still limited by the regional intellectual property protection:as the intensity of intellectual property protection increases,the impact of FDI inflows on the innovation ability gradually weakens,reflecting a typical threshold effect.On the whole,the threshold effect of regional heterogeneity is obvious,so efforts should be made to enhance the IPR protection in the R&D-intensive areas and suppress the IPR protection in the areas targeted by FDIs.

Key words: R&D input, FDI inflows, innovation ability, intellectual property protection, regional heterogeneity, threshold effect
