This paper applies the two-stage double bootstrap DEA to evaluate university–industry (U–I) collaboration efficiency of 71 Chinese universities. In first stage, we unbiased scores by using method. Results show that U–I leading universities has fluctuated slightly from 2007 2015. second perform truncated regressions explore underlying determinants estimated efficiency. We found is determined a university's characteristics, scientific research fund government, and regional economic status....

This research examines the relationship between intellectual property protection (IPP), new knowledge and regional entrepreneurship development in transition China. Using provincial-level panel data collected over China from 2000 to 2017, consistent with conventional wisdom, we find that more investment is key encouraging entrepreneurship. IPP present a U-shaped relationship, is, first promotes but impedes when it exceeds certain point. negatively moderates positive effect of on there are...

This research creates the critical relationship between blue economy, inclusive growth, and environmental sustainability in 17 transitional economies from 2000 to 2022. Using panel-corrected standard errors (PCSEs) Driscoll–Kraay error regression approach, we examine how growth significantly decreases ecological footprint while economy increases these effects through sustainable marine resource utilization clean technologies. Focusing on countries such as Argentina, Brazil, China, India,...

This paper examines the spatial innovation spillovers in different distance ranges China. Results indicate that do not decay with monotonously but appear to be a concave curve. Spatial are superimposed effects, including both positive effects of knowledge diffusion and crowding‐out resources market rivalry. We also confirm regional open can positively regulate such spillovers. Regions higher intensity could gain more substantial benefits from These findings provide manifold policy...

Although the main reason governments offer subsidies is to guide production activities and enhance competencies of individual firms, its economic effectiveness influential mechanism remain unclear. In this study, based on dynamic capability perspective, we introduce knowledge flows (i.e. inflows outflows) examine their mediation roles in relationship between government total factor productivity (TFP) growth. Empirical analysis conducted using panel data from 4,335 Chinese public listed firms...

The role of universities, as the cradle for talents and knowledge development, has long been neglected by scholars, especially in emerging economies.

The uneven distribution of FDI contributes to inequality in economic development. Most studies on China use provincial data and parametric tools analysis while delivering mixed findings regarding FDI's free trade zones (FTZs) attractiveness.
