Empirical Analysis of Network Reciprocity’s Impacts on Universities’ Cross-Region Technology Transfer Performance

摘要

Based on the analysis of the network theories, assumptions are raised about how the reciprocity influences the transfer, and theoretical models are established accordingly. Variables reflecting network reciprocity and technology transfer performance are chosen and measured based on the study of assumptions. Regression analysis of panel data is adopted to study the relation between the variables, and the result is used to verify the assumptions. Finally, corresponding advices on policy making and future study are raised according to the research results. Through empirical analysis, it is illustrated that the performance of cross-region technology transfer is improved with the increase of the region’s reciprocity relationship in the transfer network. The reciprocity relationship can significantly promote the import, export and transfer level of universities’ technologies. The region’s participation level of reciprocity cliques can accelerate the export of technology but has no significant impact on technology transfer.
