A Study of the Regional Innovation Gap from the Perspective of R&D Element Flow

Abstract

Abstract: Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s economic development has made a qualitative leap, while at the same time, formed many imbalances. Among these imbalances, the imbalance of regional development is an important aspect. This will not only run counter to the goal of sustainable and stable development of China’s economy, but also bring about a negative impact on China’s economic and social stability. Therefore, from the perspective of R&D element flow and based on the data of 30 provinces (municipalities or autonomous regions) in China from 2002 to 2019, this paper adopts the quadratic assignment procedure in the social network analytical method to study the problem of the regional innovation and development gap. The results show that the R&D personnel flow is conducive to the convergence of regional innovation development, while the R&D capital flow may widen the regional gap in innovation development. This indicates that the correct guidance of the R&D element flow will help to achieve the coordinated development of regional innovation in China.

Key words: R&D element flow, quadratic assignment procedure, regional innovation gap
