针对以往研究中只关注R&D投资总量而忽视R&D投资结构和基础研究强度的缺陷,修正MRW模型,将R&D投资分解为基础研究和非基础研究,构建了R&D投资结构的内生经济增长模型,使用中国30省市自治区1998—2010年的面板数据,实证分析了R&D投资结构对地区经济增长的影响。研究结果表明,基础研究与非基础研究的占比提高1%,经济增长上升0.08%-0.12%,R&D投资结构对经济增长的影响重要。为推动经济增长,我国在提高R&D投资的同时,应加大基础研究的投入力度,优化其在R&D中的占比,以实现R&D投资的最优配置。
With respect to the defect of previous study that attention has only been given to the total amount of the R&D investment but not to the R&D investment structure and the basic research intensity, the paper sets up an endogenous economic growth model through revising the MRW model and decomposing R&D investment into the basic research and the non - basic research, and exam- ines empirically the effects of R&D investment structure on the regional economic growth using the data of 30 provinces, municipali- ties and autonomous regions in China from 1998 to 2010. The study results show that the proportion between the basic research and the non -basic research increases by 1%, the economic growth rises by 0.08% -0. 12%, and the R&D investment structure plays an important role on the economic growth. To promote the economic growth, while increasing its R&D investment, China should in- crease the basic research investment and optimize its share in the R&D to achieve the optimal configuration of the R&D.
