Innovation in universities, Provincial inno-vation, Innovation output, Panel dataAbstract
Using panel data from 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China between 2014 and 2023, this study adopts literature review and empirical analysis methods to explore the impact of university innovation output on provincial innovation output. The results demonstrate that, when controlling for other factors, university innovation output has a significantly positive promoting effect on provincial innovation output across all regions, including the eastern, central, and western areas. Moreover, the robustness test further confirms the reliability of the research conclusions. This study provides a theoretical basis for universities and governments to formulate relevant innovation policies and optimize the allocation of innovation resources.
