主题：The Dynamic Effects of Different University-Industry Collaborations on Firm Productivity：Evidence from China Micro-Big Data
摘要：
In this study, we empirically evaluate the dynamic effects of different university-industry collaboration on firms’ TFP, and the potential pathways through which those effects are exercised. A unique manually collected big dataset in China is adopted in empirical analysis, which matches the China scholars and patents information at micro-level. We find that the higher tech-contents in R&D collaborations and more diverse knowledge in research collaborations are much more critical in promoting TFP, compared with the intensity of different collaboration types (i.e., number of co-patents and co-publications). Moreover, research collaboration exhibits a substantial dynamic and persistent impact on TFP. On the contrary, the patent-oriented collaboration mainly has a significant immediate impact, but the dynamic effects diminished dramatically over time. More importantly, the results also indicate that, compared to research collaboration, patent-based collaboration is more likely to facilitate TFP through the internal innovation. In addition, the effects of different types of university-industry collaboration on productivity are disproportionately greater in larger companies. However, high-tech firms benefit more from research collaboration, which the R&D collaboration contribute more to the traditional sectors.
