Abstract
In the post-pandemic era, there has been a renewed examination of the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, aiming to discern potential patterns within this intricate phenomenon. This study categorizes the spread of COVID-19 into five distinct phases, as delineated by Huang et al. (2023), utilizing data from 115 nations within the Global Innovation Index. We analyzed the impact of the spread rate of COVID-19 on national innovation and the moderating role of collectivist culture during the period between 2020 and 2022. The results showed that collectivist culture positively moderated the correlation between the spread rate of COVID-19 and knowledge as well as technological output in the Entry and Takeoff phases. In the Proliferation phase, individualistic culture positively moderated the correlation between the spread rate of COVID-19 and national innovation, and in-group collectivist culture positively moderated the correlation between the spread rate of COVID-19 and the input and output of national innovation.
