国家人工智能创新应用先导区建设对企业两创融合的影响研究OACHSSCD

The National AI Innovation Application Pilot Zones,as a crucial institutional arrangement to promote the deep in⁃tegration of artificial intelligence with the real economy,provide policy support for firm innovation activities.Using a sample of Chi⁃nese A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2023,this study employs a double machine learning model to empirically examine im⁃pact of construction of the pilot zones on firm'integration of technological and industrial innovation.The study finds that the con⁃struction of the pilot zones significantly promotes this integration,and this promoting effect is more pronounced in firms with a strong cooperative culture,facing intense market competition,and located in the eastern region.Mechanism tests indicate that the con⁃struction of the pilot zones primarily fosters the integration by enhancing data factor utilization,optimizing human capital structure,and alleviating financing constraints.Moreover,the study finds that asset specificity plays a negative moderating role,significantly weakening the promoting effect of the construction of the pilot zones on firms'integration of technological and industrial innovation.This study not only provides empirical evidence for understanding the intrinsic mechanisms through which AI policy empowers firm'integration but also offers policy insights for optimizing the construction of pilot zones and promoting the development of national scie⁃nce and technology industries.
