The global model of semiconductor development has resulted in an asymmetric and interdependent relationship between China's critical role production those regions such as the US which control key inputs into value chain. While this unbalanced facilitated many companies involved chain exploiting comparative advantage different locations for functions allowed a complex ecosystem supplier networks to emerge over time, increasing influence geopolitical considerations associated with growing...

Abstract International knowledge flows have become increasingly common and more frequent are a key driving force promoting the development of global science. However, little attention has been paid to determinants international scientific collaboration. Using co‐publication data from Web Science database in period 2000–2014, this paper illustrates spatial patterns estimates impact geographical, technological, social, cultural proximity on variation inter‐country collaboration Our findings...

Several studies have shown that international student mobility is uneven; they emphasise the importance of Western developed countries as destinations and reinforce stereotype stability patterns. Considering different theoretical frameworks, this study argues economic higher education development in emerging changes ties political connections between led to new To verify this, social network analysis was applied explore evolution network's structure from 2001 2015. The results show has not...

Abstract There is consensus among scholars that social networks are important mechanisms of knowledge spillovers. By occupying a central and advantageous network position in the collaboration network, it easy for actors to access intangible external resources. However, empirical studies impact structure on production remain scarce. Based copublication data from Web Science database (WoS) 2000 2015, we construct eleven international scientific empirically estimate impacts multiple properties,...

The significance of international maritime chokepoints and the exploration their safety security are intricately linked to expansion economy, maintenance political social stability, safeguarding state interests. Limited efforts have been dedicated comprehensively assessing extent chokepoints’ influence or establishing a global ranking importance using dependable data. In light growing oceans seas in realms economy society, there is pressing need afford heightened attention chokepoints. this...

Although a number of studies have discussed the economic, geopolitical and environmental impacts Belt Road Initiative (BRI), there is scarcity analysis on importance science in (B&R). Adopting bibliographical data from Clarivate Analytics’ Web Science database for period 2000–2018, this study investigates network properties, topological structure, spatial pattern, position countries, core-periphery sets, hierarchy dynamic perspective. The results show that scientific collaboration...

Open innovation has drawn significant attention over the years, and there is a growing body of literature that highlights importance considering this phenomenon at national level. Less appreciated, however, radiative capability systems (NIS) linking inbound outbound processes. We provide measurement dual (DIC) NISs based on process-oriented concepts by using multi-indicator approach, which provides more comprehensive picture sectoral compared to currently used metrics. To assess DIC NISs,...

Evaluating universities' R&D performance can serve as a tool for policymakers, enabling them to identify the best practitioners benchmarking and develop strategies enhancing by highlighting areas of weakness. This study divides into two dimensions: efficiency effectiveness. We employ network data envelopment analysis approach measure efficiency, separately use multi-index comprehensive evaluation method assess their effectiveness from multistage perspective. calculate universities in 30...

Recently, the Chinese government decided to support integrated development of Yangtze River Delta (YRD) in a national strategic way. On this background, paper investigates regional integration technology transfer system YRD based on patent from three levels: overall, supply chain, and sales chain. It also uses modularity maximization method detect community structure inter-city network China. The results show that at both overall level chain had not been realized up 2015, but achieved...

This study systematically analyzes the impacts of supplier–client and technological linkages with foreign firms on domestic firm innovation, based a unique dataset that was collected through survey over 600 in China's information communication technology industry. The results revealed Chinese were engaged extensive relationships firms, although their collaborations very limited. It found innovation benefited significantly from firms. However, also suggest that, export/import did contribute...
