  • Green R&D investment and "Made in China" Upgrade:An Empirical Test Based on Global Value Chains Specialization
  • 2018 Vol. 36 (8): 1395-1403.
  • Abstract ( )
  • This paper first constructs a theoretical framework that green R&D investment influences "Made in China" upgrade from the perspective of the global value chains specialization.On the basis of this, the author builds the index system of "China Manufacturing" upgrade from the three aspects of the height of industry, the carbon productivity of export sector and the technological content of export products, and then use 30 provincial sample data to test the effect of green R&D investment on the "Made in China" upgrade. The result of empirical test shows that: (1) "China-made" upgrade level in the year 2002 to 2015 shows "V" type trend,descending first and then slowly rising, and descends in the order of the eastern region, the central region and the western region . (2) On average, there is a U-type relationship between green R&D investment and the level of "Made in China" upgrade, which means the initial weaker intensity of green R&D investment weakens the level of upgrading of "Made in China", however, with the increase of intensity of green R&D investment, the level of upgrading of "Made in China" increases.There are some differences of the impact of green R&D Investment on the level of "Made in China" Upgrading in different economic zones, different human capital regions, and different intellectual property protection regions. (3)The embedding degree of global value chain and capital intensity have a significant promotion effect on the "Made in China" upgrade, and the effect of marketization on the "Made in China" upgrade is not obvious.
  • Informal Finance, Technological Innovation and Upgrading of Industrial Structure —A Time-Varying Feature Based on TVP-VAR Model
  • 2018 Vol. 36 (8): 1404-1413.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Based on the non-linear perspective, the time-dependent parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) model is used to demonstrate the interaction between informal finance, technological innovation and industrial upgrading since 1985 and time dimension analysis. The empirical results show that the short-term and long-term differences in the impact of informal finance and technological progress on the upgrading of industrial structure are short-term and long-term differences, that is, the short-term effect of technological innovation is significantly longer than that of long-term, while the long-term effect of informal finance is significantly shorter than that of short- Formal finance and technological progress have positive effect on the upgrading of industrial structure. Whether it is short-term or long-term, the upgrading of industrial structure is sensitive to the innovation of non-formal finance. The impact of informal finance on technological innovation and industrial upgrading has a cumulative impact The impact of technological innovation on the upgrading of industrial structure for the timely response; the relationship between the three in a different macro-background showing a more similar trend, the impact of different sizes, but since the "fifteen", China's informal finance and technology The impact of innovation on the upgrading of industrial structure has barely been improved. Accordingly, the author stressed that in the "thirteen five" planning period, the Government should fully understand the current stage of technological innovation investment and norms and effectively guide the informal finance to promote technological innovation to increase capital investment and technological innovation to protect the industrial structure The optimization and upgrading of the economy and the steady growth.

  • The Multi-case Analysis on the Factors of the Re-entrepreneurship Performance—Based on the ISM
  • 2018 Vol. 36 (8): 1432-1441.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Under the background of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation", entrepreneurial performance has become an important issue of academic concern. However, the initial failure rate of entrepreneurship is very high, the research on the factors of re-entrepreneurship and its impact mechanism is relatively lagging behind. Analyzing multiple re-entrepreneurship cases, factors of the re-entrepreneurship performance was extracted. The multi-level hierarchical structure model of the factors of the re-entrepreneurial performance is constructed based on the ISM. The guarantee factor, the key factor and the direct factor of the performance of re-entrepreneurship are clarified. This paper makes up the blank of the systematic research on the re-entrepreneurship performance, which is a supplement for the theory. The study also gives some enlightenments to improve the performance of re-entrepreneurship:(1) support re-entrepreneurship and perfect the corresponding intermediary service system.(2) strengthen the guidance of public opinion, create a "fault tolerant" entrepreneurial atmosphere.(3) for entrepreneurs, it is necessary to have a dream of entrepreneurship and openness.(4) it is very important to manage organizational forgetfulness, and knowledge management ability is of great importance to re-entrepreneurship performance.
  • Does venture capital government guiding funds spur entrepreneurial firm innovation? Evidence from Venture Capital Guiding Funds for Small and Medium Technology-Based Firms
  • 2018 Vol. 36 (8): 1466-1473.
  • Abstract ( )
  • Guiding entrepreneurial firm innovation is an important dimension of venture capital governmental guiding fund to play the guiding role. This paper first proposes the hypotheses of incentive effects, cumulative effects, and hysteresis effects based on the market failure theory and resource based theory. Then, it matches the full listing obtained from technology-based firm Innfund website with enterprises listed on National Equities Exchange and Quotations by the year 2016. After that it screens out those which had been sponsored at least once by Innfund investment protection during 2008 to 2014. Using this panel data, the paper adopts fixed effect model and examines guiding funds’ influence on entrepreneurial innovation output. The result shows that firms subsidized by guiding fund have more innovative output than those didn’t get the fund, and the more the investment protection, the more enterprise innovation output. The article also finds that there is a positive U relationship between the firms innovation output and the accumulative guarantee period of the guiding fund and the threshold estimation shows threshold value is five years. The findings provide empirical evidence for policy implications to improve entrepreneurial firm innovation.
  • Tolerance for Failure or Incentive?The Impact of GVCGFs Equity Participation in VC Funds on Enterprise Innovation
  • 2018 Vol. 36 (8): 1474-1486.
  • Abstract ( )
  • By collecting matching sample from the PEdata Database and using the negative binomial model, the impact of equity participation of China’s Government Venture Capital Guiding Funds (GVCGFs) on enterprise innovation is investigated in this paper from two theoretical perspective of tolerance for failure and incentive. The main results are summed up as follows: (1) GVCGFs participated venture capital (VC) funds are more efficient in promoting enterprise innovation than private VC funds if they provide the private capital with the loss-related compensation, while they show no significant difference with private VC funds if they provide with the revenue compensation, the fixed-revenue compensation, the revenue compensation plus fixed-revenue compensation, or take the market-oriented operation. (2) If GVCGFs participated VC funds are managed by low-reputation VC firms, or invest in high-tech enterprises, the innovation promoting effect of loss-related compensation is more significant. The above results support the hypothesis of tolerance for failure, indicating that the key for GVCGFs to promoting enterprise innovation is to improve the venture capitalist tolerance for failure with the loss compensation.
  • The formation and influential mechanism of social capital of makerspace in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation
  • 2018 Vol. 36 (8): 1487-1494.
  • Abstract ( )
  • For makerspace, building internal and external social relationship networks and cultivating and utilizing social capital are effective ways to operate efficiently and realize goals. In the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation, this paper studies the formation and influential mechanism of makerspace’s social capital. Study shows that community autonomy and maker network community affect the formation of internal and external social capital of makerspace. Social capital of makerspace can be divided into structural, relational and cognitive dimensions. In the form of strong and weak ties, reciprocity norms and trust, as well as common values and visions, social capital can provide makers with environment of knowledge sharing and resource acquisition to realize technology innovation and social profit. Taking the biggest makerspace in Asia-Beijing Makerspace as an example, this paper analyzes its formation process of social capital and relevant influence on makers’ innovation and entrepreneurship. Aiming at fostering makerspace’s effective operation and maker’s innovation and entrepreneurship, we give suggestions to actors including government, society and makerspaces based on structural, relational and cognitive dimensions of social capital.
