本研究基于2007-2020年1166个欧盟NUTS 3地区面板数据，采用控制函数法考察大学对公共研发支出创新效应的调节作用，发现大学并非普遍性催化剂，其作用在面临发展陷阱风险和持续停滞的地区更为显著。
AI 中文摘要
本研究考察了大学是否塑造了公共研发支出的区域创新效应，以及这一作用是否因区域发展轨迹而异。我们分析了2007-2020年期间1166个欧盟NUTS 3地区的面板数据，结合了欧洲公共研发资金、专利申请绩效、大学存在和区域发展陷阱的数据。为解决公共研发支出的内生性问题，我们采用了控制函数方法。结果表明，公共研发支出对大学和非大学地区的专利申请绩效均有正向影响，但两者之间的差异在统计上不显著。因此，大学的存在并未系统地放大公共研发的回报。然而，在面临发展陷阱风险的地区和经历持续停滞的地区，其调节作用变得更加显著，而关于陷阱强度的证据则较弱。这些发现表明，大学是公共研发的条件性而非普遍性催化剂。其贡献在脆弱和持续停滞的区域轨迹中尤为相关，但难以抵消严重的结构性约束。本研究通过表明研究资金的有效性不仅取决于制度存在，还取决于该制度能力所嵌入的发展轨迹，为关于公共研发地理和区域发展陷阱的辩论做出了贡献。
英文摘要
This study examines whether universities shape the regional innovation effects of public R&D expenditure and whether this role varies across regional development trajectories. We analyse a panel of 1166 EU NUTS 3 regions over the period 2007-2020, combining data on European public R&D funding, patenting performance, university presence and regional development traps. Toa ddress the endogeneity of public R&D expenditure, we employ a control function aproach. The results show that public r&D expendirue positively affects patenting performance in both university and non-university, but the difference between them is not statistically significant. University presence therefore does not sistematically amplify the returns to public R&D. However, its moderating role becomes more pronounced in regions exposed to development trap risk and in regions experiencing persistent stagnation, while evidence is weaker for trap intensity. These fundings suggest that universities act as contingent rather than unviersal catalyst of public R&D. Their contribution appears particularly relevant in vulnerable and persistently stagnant regional trajectories, but less able to offset sever structural constraints. The study contributes to debates on the geography of public R&D and regional development traps by showing that the effectiveness of research funding depends not only on institutional presence, bu also on the development rajectory in which that institutional capacity is embedded.
