需求波动、营商环境与企业的研发行为——以长三角和珠三角为例

通过建立企业研发决策行为的理论模型发现,面对外生需求的波动,不同的企业可能存在不同的研发行为模式,而这背后的原因主要是由于企业所处的营商环境造成的.利用2005-2007年的工业企业数据对长三角和珠三角地区进行实证检验,研究需求波动如何影响2个地区企业的研发决策行为.结果表明:面对相似的外部需求波动,珠三角的企业比长三角的企业更加敏感,珠三角的企业既不愿意参与研发,也不愿意增加研发投入,而波动对长三角企业的研发行为没有显著影响.结合理论模型与统计数据,得出长三角拥有更加良好的营商环境是造成相似需求波动下两地企业研发行为模式不同的主要原因.

Demand Volatility,Business Environment and Firm's R&D Behavior:Evidence From Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta

This paper firstly builds a theoretical model about firm's R&D decision-making.Facing the exogenous demand volatility,different firms may have different behavior patterns of R&D investment decision,which is mainly caused by firm's different business environments.Then we choose Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta for empirical analysis by using China's industrial enterprises data in 2005-2007,in order to study how demand volatility influences firm's R&D behaviors in these two regions.The results show that the firms in Pearl River Delta are more sensitive than those in Yangtze River Delta.That is,under the similar external demand volatility,firms in Pearl River Delta are neither willing to do R&D nor willing to increase the input of R&D.However,demand volatility does not affect firm's R&D behaviors in Yangtze River Delta.Finally,the paper shows that better business environment in Yangtze River Delta leads to the different R&D behavior patterns of firms in these two regions.
