摘要
数字技术创新是数字经济发展的关键驱动力。而数字经济时代下的社会信用如何影响地区数字技术创新水平,这一问题目前仍鲜有系统性研究。本研究基于中国社会信用体系示范区的准自然实验背景,利用中国内地279个城市的面板数据,实证检验了社会信用体系建设对地区数字技术创新水平的影响效应及其作用机制。研究发现:第一,社会信用体系建设显著促进了地区数字技术创新水平的提升;第二,社会信用体系建设促进数字技术创新的机制包括吸引风险投资、改善知识产权保护、提振数字化转型需求以及优化市场环境;第三,社会信用体系建设的促进作用对于人口流动性较强、普遍信任水平较低和政策不确定性较高的地区更为明显,并且更倾向于对实质性数字创新的提升。本研究不仅从非正式制度的视角丰富了影响数字技术创新因素的相关研究,验证了社会信用对地区数字技术创新的积极作用,更为政策制定提供了理论和现实指引。
Digital technology innovation is the key driver of the digital economy's development.However,there remains a paucity of systematic research examining the influence of social credit in the digital economy era on the level of regional digital technology innovation.This study,based on the quasi-natural experiment background of China's social credit system demonstration zones and using panel data from 279 cities in China's Mainland,empirically tests the impact of the construction of the social credit system on the level of regional digital technology innovation and its mechanism of action.The study reveals the following findings:First,the establishment of the social credit system significantly enhances the level of regional digital technology innovation.Second,the mechanisms facilitating digital technology innovation through the construction of the social credit system encompass attracting venture capital,enhancing intellectual property protection,augmenting digital transformation requirements,and optimizing the market environment.Third,the promotional effect of the construction of social credit system is more pronounced in regions characterized by high population mobility,low general trust levels,and heightened policy uncertainty,and it tends to bolster substantial digital innovation.This study not only enriches the research on factors affecting digital technology innovation from the perspective of informal institutions,verifying the positive role of social credit on regional digital technology innovation,but also provides theoretical and practical guidance for policy-making.
