行业R&D投入与产出绩效之间并不是简单的线性关系,不同的行业类型具有不同的创新特征,R&D投入与产出的关系也存在差异。本文基于Pavitt创新产业分类,采用大中型工业企业面板数据,对我国制造业不同行业R&D投资与绩效的关系进行非线性回归,结果表明我国制造业四大类行业中,供应商主导型和规模密集型行业R&D投入与绩效的关系呈现弧度较高的倒U型曲线,而专业化供应商和以科学为基础的行业R&D投入对产出绩效的影响呈平坦的倒U型曲线关系。围绕产业类型的创新行为特点,本文对这一结果进行了解释。
The relationship between sectorsl R&D investment and performance is nonlinear. Different characteristics of innovation in different sectors determine the seetoral difference in relationship between R&D investment and performance. Using a panel of China's large and mediumsize enterprises, this study investigates the relationship between R&D investment and output performance. The empirical results show that R&D investments have an inverted U - shaped cut'near relationship with output performance of the firm. Furthermore, the relationships of R&D investment and perfommnce in four different types of sectors, based on the Pavitt's taxonomy of innovating firms, are also analyzed.
