“…Typically, innovators default to input resources in R&D activities, resulting in technological progress and competitive advantage, which is manifested as high-quality innovation behaviour [5]. However, sometimes, the innovation activities of innovators could be presented as a strategic innovation behaviour [4,33,34]. Thus, innovators could choose different innovation behaviors depending on their own conditions and environment.…”

“…For innovation behavior, previous studies classify innovation behavior from innovation content or innovation intensity, and few studies classify innovation behavior from the perspective of innovation motivation. However, besides innovation aimed at promoting technological advancement and maintaining competitive advantage, some innovation activities also aim at other interests, which is a strategic behavior [4]. Strategic innovation is just a strategy of enterprise management; its purpose is not to substantially enhance the technical competitiveness of the enterprise but obtain some benefits [5].…”

This study aims to explore the direct effect and spillover effect of innovation policy in the distribution and dynamic evolution of the regional innovation from the perspective of innovation motivation using the spatial econometric model. Substantive innovation and strategic innovation in one region could affect innovation in another region. In addition, the direct effect and spatial spillover effect of innovation policy could significantly affect innovation; however, they exert a higher impact on substantive innovation. Considering different policy tools, we found that government subsidies exert a significant positive impact on substantive innovation and strategic innovation, whereas financial institution loans exert a significant negative impact on substantive innovation and strategic innovation. And for the impact range, the government subsidies are higher than that of financial institution loans. Furthermore, this study reveals the leading environmental factors affecting regional innovation and provide a policy basis to promote the construction of an innovation-oriented country.

“…According to previous research, enterprise innovation is mainly measured by the growth rate of new product sales revenue, R & D expenditure divided by total assets and the number of patent applications [21] [22]. Since technological innovation is finally implemented in the efficiency of resource allocation, we select the number of patent applications to measure enterprise innovation.…”

Using the patent applications data of listed firms in China from 2005 to 2014, this paper examines how the pay gap in the top management team influences enterprise innovation. The result shows that the number of patent applications especially the number of patents for invention increases significantly when the pay gap enlarges. It means the enlargement of the pay gap in the top management team could incent executives to make innovation decisions, to promote outputs of high-quality patents for invention. Finally the quality of enterprise innovation has been improved. Especially, the incentive effect of the pay gap in the top management team is more significant in private enterprises and enterprises with strong financing constraints. Therefore, enterprises in these two groups have better innovation behaviors.

“…In practice, the difficulty of applying for patents for designs and utility models is relatively low. Based on the definitions and descriptions in China's Patent Law for various types of patents and the discussions in existing studies (Tan et al, 2014;Tong et al, 2014;Li and Zheng, 2016), this paper defines the invention patent as a radical innovation, while the patent for designs and patent for utility models are defined as incremental innovations.…”

Based on the theory of technology spillover in international trade, this paper discusses the technological innovation effect of trade by taking the influence of domestic trade into account. Under the constraint of the production possibility frontier, there is either complementarity or substitutability between domestic and foreign trade. It must be decided whether resources should be concentrated in one of the sectors (trade specialization) or instead allocated equally (trade equalization) between the two sectors. This paper firstly discusses how domestic trade and foreign trade work together to influence technological innovation, and how trade equalization and specialization affect different types of innovation. Using a provincial-level panel dataset from 2007 to 2015 in China, this paper constructs the indicators of domestic and foreign trade linkage and examines the impact of trade on innovation. The findings show that trade equalization mainly promotes incremental innovation, while trade specialization improves radical innovation. Thus, in the area of incremental innovation, attention should be paid to the equalized development of domestic and foreign trade, while in areas pursuing radical innovation, emphasis should be put on the specialization of the trade sector, avoiding equal allocation of resources to the two sectors.
