Abstract
Abstract This study investigates determinants of science and technology parks (STPs) performance in China. We estimate dynamic panel data models on a sample comprising 53 STPs for 2008 – 2018. FDI and human capital impact labor productivity and innovation of STPs and explain differences in performance among them. We find evidence for beta‐ and sigma‐convergence of labor productivity and beta‐, but not sigma‐convergence of innovation. Our study provides novel insights for research on STPs and innovation policy regarding heterogeneity in performance of STPs, and specifically, some evidence concerning formation of ‘clubs’ of STPs based on the city‐tier system in China.
期刊介绍：
Regional Science is the official journal of the Regional Science Association International. It encourages high quality scholarship on a broad range of topics in the field of regional science. These topics include, but are not limited to, behavioral modeling of location, transportation, and migration decisions, land use and urban development, interindustry analysis, environmental and ecological analysis, resource management, urban and regional policy analysis, geographical information systems, and spatial statistics. The journal publishes papers that make a new contribution to the theory, methods and models related to urban and regional (or spatial) matters.
