Abstract
Entrepreneurship, as one of the important factors to promote industrial innovation, is closely related to the development of the regional economy. Based on the methods of Kernel density and standard deviation ellipse, this article presents the spatio-temporal patterns of entrepreneurship and innovation performance. The article also examines the spatial spillover mechanism of entrepreneurship on innovation performance by establishing spatial Durbin models. The heterogeneous results of the spatial regression models in six clusters are also discussed. The final results show that the spatio-temporal patterns of entrepreneurship are gradually presenting three major hot spots and two secondary hot spots while the spatio-temporal patterns of innovation performance are presenting four major hot spots and a secondary hot spot; the spatial distribution of both entrepreneurship and innovation performance are changing regularly; the spillover effects of entrepreneurship and innovation performance are both significant; the spatial spillover mechanisms in six automobile industrial clusters are different. The results can provide empirical support for decision-making in the automobile industry in China in the future.
Highlights
Entrepreneurship is an important indicator to measure the economic vitality of a country or a region
We verified the spatial spillover mechanism of entrepreneurship and innovation performance based on spatial Durbin model (SDM); second, we proposed the spatio-temporal patterns of entrepreneurship and innovation performance of automobile industrial clusters in China; third, we found that the Northeast area stepped into the dilemma of innovation, which urgently needs profound and thorough reform; and fourth, this article sheds light on the decision making of the automobile industry in China in the future
From the perspective of kernel density of entrepreneurship from 2000 to 2016, three major hot spots were gradually formed in Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta region, and Pearl River Delta region; two secondary hot spots were formed in the Central area and Chengdu-Chongqing area; there is no obvious hot spot in the Northeast area
Summary
Entrepreneurship is an important indicator to measure the economic vitality of a country or a region It is a comprehensive reflection of the local legal environment, market environment, innovation and entrepreneurship environment, and business environment, which are closely related to the development of the regional economy (Estrin et al, 2006). China’s central and local governments have issued a series of policies to boost industrial innovation and positive spillover. To improve China’s scientific and technological innovation ability, the central government has formulated long-term national science and technology development plans, such as “spark plan,” “973 Plan,” “863 Plan,” and so on. The local government has issued a series of subdivision policies, including creating a good business environment, formulating supporting policies for talents, and providing free office space for start-ups
