科技人力资源是在经济体系中从事科学知识创造、技术创新和技术整合的生产要素。科技人力资源的积累可以带来劳动力结构的不断升级和内生技术进步,提升产业链全过程和产品价值。作为传统老工业基地,东北地区具有科技人力资源优势,尤其是技工资源优势。但是从1997年来,科技人力资源的集聚优势急剧下降。而且相关性研究表明,东北地区科技人力资源与经济发展水平的同步联动趋势不显著,科技人力资源集聚对于地区生产率的提高有一定作用,但并不非常明显。东北地区科技人力资源集中于传统产业,对产业结构升级没有起到支撑作用。东北地区科技人力资源对区域经济发展的促进作用需进一步发挥。
Science and technology human resources engage in scientific knowledge creation, technological innovation and technology integration. The accumulation of science and technology human resources can bring the escalating of labor structure and endogenous technological progress, upgrade the product value chain. As a traditional old industrial base, Northeast China has traditional advantage in science and technology human resources, especially in mechanic resources. But since 1997, science and technology human resources have sharply declined. We find that in Northeast China, the synchronous linkage trend between human resources and economic devel- opment is not significant. The science and technology human resources have really improved the productivity, but the effect is not very obvious. The science and technology human resources concentrate in traditional industries and have not played a supporting role in upgrading industrial structure.
