科技服务业集聚与高新区高质量发展OACHSSCD

This study establishes a theoretical link between the agglomeration of the science and technology service industry and the high-quality development of national high-tech zones.Using panel data from 30 provinces and municipalities in China from 2015 to 2020,it employs panel data models and mediation effect models to examine the promoting effect and underlying mechanisms of science and technology service industry agglomeration on the high-quality development of high-tech zones.The findings reveal that the agglomeration of the science and technology service industry promotes the high-quality development of high-tech zones through three mechanisms:the learning-by-doing effect,the technology diffusion effect,and the human capital effect,with the human capital effect being the most prominent.This promoting effect is significantly influenced by the level of local fiscal support and exhibits notable regional heterogeneity,ranking as"strongest in the central region,followed by the western region,and weakest in the eastern region."Accordingly,this study proposes that high-tech zones should prioritize the science and technology service industry as a leading innovation factor,differentiate the allocation of specialized science and technology service sectors based on local industrial foundations,and improve mechanisms for attracting,cultivating,and incentivizing science and technology talent.
