国家技术转移中心何以促进企业实质性绿色创新?
How do National Technology Transfer Centers Catalyze Substantive Green Innovation in Firms?
摘要
Abstract
China's socio-economic development has entered a high-quality development stage characterized by accelerated green and low-carbon transformation.High-level scientific and technological innovation serves as the core engine driving comprehensive green transformation,while establishing an efficient and synergistic technology transfer system constitutes the critical institutional support for transforming scientific and technological achievements into tangible green productivity.Accordingly,this paper focuses on the impact of National Technology Transfer Centers(NTTCs)on firms'substantive green innovation,aiming to reveal the inherent logic of stimulating endogenous innovation momentum and constructing institutional empowerment pathways. Based on theoretical analysis,this paper leverages the establishment of NTTCs as a quasi-natural experiment.Using data from A-share listed companies in China from 2010 to 2023,it employs a staggered difference-in-differences(DID)model to empirically investigate the impact of NTTCs on firms'substantive green innovation and its underlying mechanisms.The findings reveal that the establishment of NTTCs enhances firms'substantive green innovation with sustained effects.This conclusion remains valid after a series of robust test.Mechanism analysis indicates that NTTCs promote substantive green innovation through three primary pathways:government green procurement,corporate green investment,and industry-university-research green collaboration.Heterogeneity analysis shows that the empowering effect of NTTCs is more pronounced among state-owned enterprises,firms in high-tech sectors,and firms located in regions with well-developed infrastructure.Therefore,this paper proposes the following policy recommendations,including refining the functional positioning of NTTCs,deeply integrating them into the government green procurement system,leveraging their role as market hubs in green innovation investment,strengthening their coordination function as key entities,and establishing a differentiated support system. The marginal contributions are threefold.First,from a research perspective,this paper examines NTTCs as a key institutional arrangement connecting an effective government and an efficient market,offering both theoretical and empirical insights into the endogenous drivers and enabling pathways for substantive green innovation in Chinese firms.Second,in terms of the theoretical framework,this paper constructs a tripartite driving mechanism of demand pull,resource allocation,and collaborative innovation,enriching the theoretical understanding of how specialized technology transfer institutions shape corporate green innovation behavior.Third,regarding the research content,this paper investigates the heterogeneous effects of NTTCs on the promotion of substantive green innovation across three dimensions:internal firm characteristics,industry attributes,and the market environment.These findings provide targeted policy implications and theoretical references for improving China's technology transfer system and accelerating the green transformation of its economy and society.关键词
