Does the Construction of Public Cultural Service System Promote Regional Innovation?Evidence from the National Public Cultural Service System Demonstration Zone Policy
Employing the panel data of 282 prefecture-level cities from 2006 to 2021 as a sample,this paper considers the implementation of National Public Cultural Service System Demonstration Zone policy as a quasi-natural experiment,and empirically examines the impact of the National Public Cultural Service System Demonstration Zone policy implementation on the level of regional innovation by using a staggered Difference-in-Differences model.The study finds that the implementation of the demonstration zone policy has a significant and positive effect on the regional innovation level,and this result still holds after a series of robustness tests such as PSM-DID model estimation and placebo tests The implementation of the demonstration zone policy promotes the improvement of the regional innovation level through optimizing the innovation environment(entrepreneurship environment,talent environment,competition environment,and market environment).Demonstration zone policy implementation exhibits a convergence effect,which can narrow the gap in regional innovation levels.Compared with the quantity of innovation,the implementation of demonstration zone policy promotes the improvement of regional innovation quality more effectively.There are differences in the policy effects of the implementation of demonstration zone policy in different regions,and the implementation of demonstration zone policy has a more significant impact on non-key regions and central and western regions than key regions and the eastern regions.This paper concludes that it is supposed to improve the top-level design of public cultural service supply,follow the principle of"co-construction and sharing,universal access,and balanced development",strengthen cultural empowerment,and guide the construction of public cultural service system to help the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy.
