摘要
根据联立方程模型对竞争程度、市场规模与创新之间的内在联系进行考察,结果表明:1)竞争程度和创新之间是相互促进的,导致这一结果的主要原因是竞争性市场中长期的自然选择效应;2)市场规模和创新之间也是相互促进的。市场规模对创新活动具有正的激励效应,企业创新活动的本质是一种需求(市场)导向型的创新,同时创新也是市场规模增加的主要原因之一;3)竞争程度对市场规模的影响是不确定的,而市场规模扩大能够促进竞争。本文的政策含义是:在中国特有的巨大市场规模和市场需求的条件下,加强竞争的产业政策可以促进企业持续地进行需求(市场)导向型创新。
This paper analyzes the relationship among competition, market size and innovation by simultaneous equations model. It finds that (1) competition and innovation are positively correlated, which is clue to the long-run Darwinian effect in the competitive market; (2) market size and innovation are also positively correlated: market size has positive incentive effects on innovative activities because innovation is essentially demand-oriented (market-oriented), meanwhile innovation is also one of the significant factors leading to the increase of market size ; and (3) between competition and market size, the effect of competition on market size is ambiguous, while the enlargement of market size can intensify competition. The policy implication of this paper is as follows: under the condition that China has especially huge market size and market demand, the industry policy of intensifying competition can promote the firms' persistent demand-oriented innovation.
