Regional Innovation in China under Double Cycle Pattern

Abstract

The network spillover effect of knowledge has been playing an increasingly significant role in the development of industrial innovation. The urban cooperation matrix of China’s new energy automobile industry is built based on new energy automobile patent data, and the structure and evolution process of China’s new energy automobile industry are depicted. On this basis, the spatial Dubin model (SDM) is used to calculate the network spillover effect, and its results are compared with the results of spillover effect based on the relationship of spatial contiguity and distance of cities. The results show that the innovation activities of China’s new energy automobile industry have begun to take shape, and a certain scale of innovation network has been formed. However, the innovation cooperation among cities and enterprises is not close. The innovation activities of new energy automobile industry are mainly concentrated in large cities, and from such cities, the innovation activities have strongly radiation to surrounding regions. The R&D investment of enterprises plays the key role in promoting the innovation and development of the local new energy automobile industry, but it has not produced significant spillover effect on the countrywide scale.
