Spatio-temporal Characteristics and Knowledge Spillover Effects of Basic Research Output in Chinese Colleges and Universities
Based on the panel data of 240 cities in China from 2006-2020 and the data of WAJCI journal papers,this paper analyzes the spatial-temporal characteristics and spillover effects of basic research output in colleges and universities from 2006 to 2020.Constructing a spatial econometric model to measure the spillover effect between different urban agglomerations,it empirically tests the interaction between Matthew effect and spillover effect,and explores the internal driving force in the spatial-temporal pattern evolution of basic research of colleges and universities.The results show that:1)The output of basic research in colleges and universities presents a spatial pattern of"large dispersion and small agglomeration",and the distribution characteristic of centering on provincial capital cities and municipalities with an obvious core-subordinate-peripheral gradient structure.The output of basic research in colleges and universities is stronger in the eastern region than that in the central and western regions.The regional gap is reduced,and the spillover effect is gradually manifested.2)From the perspective of the whole country,the output of basic research in colleges and universities has a significant positive spatial spillover effect.3)From the perspective of center-periphery spillover,the universities in higher-level cities have a positive spillover effect on lower-level cities,there is a top-down spillover effect of basic research in colleges and universities.Basic research of colleges and universities in upper-tier cities have a positive spillover effect on lower-tier cities,but the spillover effect is limited to neighboring cities,and central cities still have a significant Matthew effect on peripheral cities.
