The evolution pattern and endogenous mechanism of China's innovation network:From the"glocal"perspective
Based on the data of transnational and domestic intercity patent transfer,this paper depicts the evolution pattern of China's innovation network from the"glocal"perspective,and us-es the PVAR model to explore and empirically test the endogenous mechanism of the evolution of the"glocal"innovation network.The results show that:(1)From 2004 to 2018,China's"glo-cal"innovation network scale and the degree of connection were increasing,and the degree of tightness and evolution speed of the domestic intercity technology transfer network was greater than that of the transnational technology transfer network;(2)The external node cities are con-centrated in East Asia,Western Europe and North America,and show the trend of"moving east-ward".The corresponding domestic gateway cities are concentrated in the eastern coastal areas.The internal and external connection degree of domestic cities presents isomorphic characteris-tics in the spatial pattern,and shows the difference in the order of internal and external connec-tions;(3)In the evolution of the"glocal"innovation network,there is a one-way and two-way self-reinforcing effect of technology transfer,reflecting the convergence and expansion character-istics of urban nodes;(4)The gateway city is the carrier of the interaction between the global and local innovation networks,and there are complementary and competitive effects between transna-tional technology transfer and domestic technology transfer.For China,the complementary ef-fect is mainly reflected between the transnational technology import and the domestic technolo-gy export,and the competitive effect is reflected in the substitution and squeezing effect of the transnational technology import and the domestic technology import and the domestic technolo-gy export on the transnational technology export.
