Research on Multi-Configuration Path and Driving Effect of Regional Innovation in China
Promoting factor synergy to form development synergy is an important hand to achieve high-level regional innovation.Based on the data of 2021 provinces(autonomous regions and cities)from 2017 to 2021,the paper uses the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)method to identify the multiple configuration-driven paths that drive high-level regional innovation,the driving effect of different configuration paths on regional innovation is also tested.The results show that there are three types of regional innovation driving paths:industry-education integration,industry incubation and industry-university-research synergy.All the three types of configuration paths have significant positive effects on regional innovation,and the marginal effect of the driving path of"Industrial incubation"is the most significant.Accordingly,when promoting the building of regional innovation capacity,multiple measures should be faken to form a synergy to drive innovation development;develop strengths and circumvent weaknesses to formulate innovation policies in light of local conditions;focus on the core to fully stimulate regional innovation momentum;innovate mechanisms to improve the system of regional coordinated innovation.
