政府机构正确制定并高效执行政策的能力会显著影响区域创新活动和经济行为,然而政府质量很少被视为知识生产函数的变量。虽然经济学家常将宏观政策和国家制度因素考虑进模型,但少有学者从城市这一微观尺度系统评估地方政府质量和创新绩效的关系。文章借助中国综合社会调查(CGSS)数据,从政府效益、法规准则和地方政府责任3个维度综合刻画了我国43个地级市/直辖市的政府质量。研究表明,地方政府质量对区域创新绩效产生积极影响,其中地方政府责任是影响创新效率的主要因素。此外,地方政府质量对创新的影响存在门槛效应和地区差异。中西部地区城市的创新产出受地方政府质量的影响较大,而具有较好制度环境的东部地区则影响较小。
The ability of government agencies to properly formulate and efficiently implement policies can have a significant impact on regional innovation activities and economic behavior, yet government quality is seldom seen as a variable in knowledge production functions. Although economists often take macroscopic policy and state system factors into account, few scholars systematically evaluate the relationship between the quality of local government and innovation performance from the microscopic scale of cities. Based on the CGSS data, the article comprehensively depicts the quality of government in 43 prefecture-level cities / municipalities in China from the three dimensions of government benefits, regulations and local government responsibilities. The research shows that the quality of local government has a positive impact on regional innovation performance, among which the responsibility of local government is the main factor that affects the innovation efficiency. In addition, the impact of local government quality on innovation has threshold effect and regional differences. The innovation output of cities in central and western regions is greatly affected by the quality of local governments, while the eastern regions with better institutional environments have less impact.
