Analysis of the role of government in the construction of cross-regional innovation system

Abstract

The cross-regional innovation system is an innovation system formed on the basis of the integration of administrative regions and economic regions. Taking the collaborative innovation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as an example, the role that the government should play in the construction of cross-regional innovation system is analyzed, and draws the following conclusions: There is a link between the “visible hand” (government intervention) and the “invisible hand” (market regulation). The contribution of the government is the precondition for the market to play its role, and the market mechanism further promotes the promotion of government functions, thus forming a virtuous circle in which local governments and market competition are embedded. To be specific, governments play different roles in different development stages of the cross-regional innovation system. In the initial stage of the construction of the system, the government played a leading role as a planner; In its mature stage, the government will cooperate with other various innovation entities in the region as a participant to jointly promote the effective implementation of innovation policies.
