Abstract

The interplay between state‐led interventions and market‐driven forces has gained unparalleled prominence. This paper examines China's strategic use of government‐guided funds (GGFs) and their consequential impact on its national high‐tech zones (NHZs). Through an analysis of 1599 annual observations from 123 NHZs spanning 2007–2019, we reveal a compelling correlation between GGF investments and augmented industrial activity. Our findings indicate that NHZs benefitting from GGF allocations evidenced a significant 5.5% surge in industrial activity. Two underlying mechanisms drive this relationship. The leverage mechanism portrays GGFs as attractors of private social capital to tech‐centric ventures within NHZs. Meanwhile, the guidance mechanism underscores NHZs' strategic clustering of high‐tech sectors, amplifying benefits from shared resources and knowledge. Empirical analysis affirms both mechanisms, showing NHZs with robust social capital magnetism and tech clustering derive pronounced gains from GGF interventions. Our results carry practical implications for both policymakers and academicians, offering a nuanced understanding of the symbiotic relationship between fiscal strategies and industrial growth.

政府引导基金对开发区目标产业的影响--来自中国的证据
国家主导的干预与市场驱动的力量之间的相互作用已变得空前突出。本文研究了中国对政府引导基金(GGFs)的战略性使用及其对国家高新区(NHZs)的影响。通过分析 2007-2019 年间来自 123 个国家高新区的 1599 项年度观测数据,我们揭示了政府引导基金投资与工业活动增长之间的显著相关性。我们的研究结果表明,受益于全球创业基金拨款的国家高新区的工业活动显著增加了 5.5%。这种关系是由两个基本机制驱动的。杠杆机制将政府引导基金描绘成吸引私人社会资本投资于国家高新区内以科技为中心的企业。同时,引导机制强调了国家高新区对高科技行业的战略集聚,扩大了共享资源和知识带来的收益。实证分析证实了这两种机制,表明具有强大社会资本磁力和科技集群的国家高新区从全球创业基金的干预中获得了显著收益。我们的研究结果对政策制定者和学术界都有实际意义,为财政战略与工业增长之间的共生关系提供了细致入微的理解。
