Research on the Coordination of Technological Innovation Policy in the Vertical Institutional Space --Based on the Policy Texts of 18 Provinces in 2009-2018

Abstract

Based on the grey correlational measurement model of policy synergy, this paper explores the synergy of technological innovation policy in the vertical institutional space from four dimensions: policy intensity, policy objectives, policy measures, and policy platform, and selects 18 provinces with high constraints in innovation resources for verification. The results show that (1) overall, the degree of synergy between the technological innovation policies of the studied 18 provinces and of the State Council is not high; (2) from the perspective of sub-dimensions, the synergy of policy dynamics is relatively high, the synergy of policy objectives and policy platforms is average, and the synergy of policy measures is poor; and (3) in terms of provinces, Sichuan, Hainan, Yunnan, Gansu, and other provinces have relatively good innovation policy coordination; Henan, Jiangxi, Jilin, Qinghai, and other provinces have generally average coordination; Xinjiang, Shanxi, Ningxia and other provinces have relatively poor coordination.
