Research on the Driving Path of Intellectual Property to Regional Economic Growth from the Perspective of Configuration
Based on the data of 27 cities in the Yangtze River Delta,this paper uses the method of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(FsQCA)to explore the joint effects of various factors on regional economic growth and the interaction between factors under the"technology-organization-environment".The results show that there are four different paths to explain the drive of intellectual property to regional economic growth,which can be refined into two paths:the initiative of intellectual property resource support and the drive of market competition.Meanwhile,combining the existing theoretical explanations and typical case analysis,this paper puts forward two research propositions.The research conclusions of this paper have certain research contributions in understanding the logic between intellectual property and innovation,deepening the multiple theoretical interpretation framework,and enriching the research on the path driven by intellectual property.
