区域科技创新与数字经济耦合协调研究

基于2012—2019年中国内地30个省市面板数据，引入耦合理论，分析区域科技创新能力、数字经济发展水平以及两者间的耦合协调度。研究结果显示，区域科技创新能力与数字经济发展态势良好，其中，R&D活动和数字产业化程度对两者影响显著；两者间的耦合协调度在大部分地区表现为从低耦合阶段逐步进入磨合阶段或者高耦合阶段，区域耦合协调度差异较大，整体上东南地区优于西北地区。针对耦合现状，提出当前仍需不断优化要素配置、调整政策侧重点、加强区域协作等政策建议。

The Coupling Coordination of Regional Science & Technology Innovation and Digital Economy

In the era of globalization and information,science and technology innovation has become the main driving force for regional economic and competitiveness. With the widespread application of the Internet and emerging science and technology,data has become a key production factor,the substantive economy and digital economy have been continuously integrated,and the digital economy has become an important part of the national economy. The deep integration of science and technology innovation and digital economy is considered to be the fulcrum of future economic development and social progress. Science and technology innovation helps the development of the digital economy in terms of breaking through underlying technologies and conquering core technologies,while the development of the digital economy also improves the efficiency of science and technology innovation and promote the application and transformation of science and technology achievements. Previous studies only focused on the one-way influence. Although a few articles are involved the interaction of the both sides,they all adopt qualitative analysis methods,rarely using quantitative analysis. Therefore,the purpose of this paper is to further research the degree of integration and development of regional science and technology innovation and digital economy in China,as well as the law of spatial and temporal differentiation,and explore the path to promote the deep integration of science and technology innovation and digital economy in each region of China.#br#　　　For these purposes,this paper selects panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2012 to 2019,and comprehensively measures the development level of science and technology innovation and digital economy from the regional perspective. Based on the coupling coordination degree model and relative development model,this paper obtains the development trend of coupling coordination degree in each region,and finds the stage characteristics and temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of coupling coordination development in each region.#br#　　　The results show that R&D activities have the greatest impact on China's science and technology innovation capacities,and the degree of digital industrialization has the greatest impact on digital economy development level. There is an obvious growth trend of China's technological innovation and digital economy from 2012 to 2019,but the growth rate of the latter is generally higher than that of the former,and both show large spatial differences. The development levels of East China,South China and North China are both at the forefront of the country. Central China performs better in science and technology innovation. Although the level of digital economy development is in the middle and lower reaches, its growth trend is gratifyingly good. The northwest,northeast and southwest regions all rank at the bottom,and the comprehensive development level of science and technology innovation and digital economy has grown relatively slowly. In terms of coupling coordination,the coupling coordination degree of regional science and technology innovation system and digital economy system generally shows an increasing trend year by year,and the overall relative development degree first decreases and then stabilizes. During the period from 2012 to 2019,the science and technology innovation system and digital economy system of most regions in China experienced from a low-coupling stage to a running-in stage or a high-coupling stage,while some regions were in a stagnant state. The coupling of science and technology innovation and the digital economy shows a trend that the eastern region is higher than the western region,and the coastal region is higher than the inland region. For most regions where the development level of science and technology innovation is higher than that of the digital economy,the development level of the digital economy and the degree of coupling coordination between the two systems have been improved rapidly. The application of R&D results,the development of R&D experiments and the foundation of the digital economy are the main factors hindering the overall coupling coordination of the two systems.#br#　　　Compared with the existing literature,the possible marginal contribution of this paper lies in the following two aspects. Firstly,the existing studies are less likely to explore the interconnection and interaction between regional science and technology innovation and digital economy. This paper deepens the existing literature by deeply analyzing the interaction relationship and coupling mechanism between the two systems of regional science and technology innovation and digital economy from the theoretical and empirical levels. Secondly,this paper analyzes the influencing factors of the coupling and coordination between science and technology innovation and digital economy,and further explores its mechanism. The results of this paper have certain guidance for improving the coordinated development level of regional scientific and technological innovation and digital economy,narrowing the gap between regions,and promoting the coupling and coordination between them.#br#
