Spatial effects drive regional innovation convergence in China, reshaping economic landscapes.
The study looked at how different regions in China are innovating and found that there is a significant connection between regions when it comes to innovation. The researchers used a special method to analyze this connection and discovered that regions with higher levels of economic development, human capital, research and development investment, and openness tend to have more innovation. They also found that certain regional development strategies, like focusing on specific industries or areas, can boost innovation in those regions. Overall, the study shows that regional innovation in China is influenced by factors like education, investment, and economic growth.
