借助引入区域研发联盟变量的内生增长模型,本文探讨了区域研发联盟与经济增长方式转变之间的联系。理论分析发现,在知识存量水平较低的条件下,推动区域经济增长向创新驱动转变,可以通过构建区域研发联盟的方式提前达成。尽管在知识存量水平较低时,自主创新得不偿失,对经济增长的影响是负面的,只有知识存量积累到一定水平,自主创新才成为经济增长的引擎,但区域研发联盟作为自主创新的载体,在知识存量水平尚不足以支撑创新驱动的区域经济增长时,可以通过创新主体在区域层面上的合作,发挥各自优势,提升创新能力,改善创新绩效,促成经济增长方式的转变。这一命题也得到了长三角地区纺织行业相关数据的实证检验。
With the introduction of regional RD coalition into an endogenous growth model,the connection between regional RD coalition and economic growth pattern transformation has been explored.A theoretical study indicates that the transforming toward an innovation-driven growth could be accomplished in advance by the establishment of regional RD coalition.Although indigenous innovation would slow down the growth when the level of knowledge stock is relatively low;after a certain level of knowledge stock,indigenous innovation would become the engine for the economic growth.When the level of knowledge stock is insufficient for maintaining innovation-driven growth,the regional RD coalition could act as a carrier for indigenous innovation,the coalition would expedite the transform of economic growth pattern by regional cooperation,exert respective advantages,enhance innovation capabilities,and improve innovation performance.The hypothesis has also been tested by an empirical analysis with the data collected from textile industry in Yangtze River Delta.
